At the University Book Store tonight, there is a reading that somehow didn’t make it into our reading calendar. Here is some information about it:
Tuesday • November 11 • 7pm
Allison Amend
Things that Pass for LoveOV Books—an affiliate of the wonderful indie Dzanc Books—presents a collection of short stories by relative newcomer Allison Amend. Allison Lurie, author of the novel Foreign Affairs, says of Amend that she is, “…a gifted storyteller, whose view of contemporary life is often wonderfully acute, original, and surprising.”
I have it on good authority that the book is “not terrible,” and that you should go to this reading and not the beer one listed earlier. Apologies to Ms. Amend and the University Book Store for the error. Next week’s reading calendar is fucking perfect.
I absolutely love non-terrible books. *And* perfect readings calendars. It’s like I went to heaven without dying.
