It’s sad when you are reading someone else’s blog and they alert you to a really cool event happening at your own store. (In my defense, the event schedule I get is in this shitty Excel format—difficult to read) Even worse when someone on the other side of the country alerted that blogger. Apparently TEV alerted Maud Newton about the Graham Greene event we are hosting here. Michael Gorra and James Wood will start discussing Greene at 6:30 on Thursday Oct. 28th. I’ve mentioned before, we have a great schedule this Fall. So check it out here. We have stuff with Maria Tatar, Susan Orlean, Stephen Elliott, Stephen Mitchell, Billy Corgan (yes, the Smashing Pumpkins guy), Dubravka Ugresic, Ha Jin, Corey Robin and Cornel West all before the end of October.

Don’t feel bad. To be fair, Michael Gorra told me about it in an e-mail, which is the only reason I knew about it. And I couldn’t find it on the site, either.
Please please please do give us an on the spot report!

Not to worry, I will attend the event and report back. I am thinking of borrowing some sort of tape recorder or something so I can post quotes and so forth. I will definitely take a few pictures.

I also plan to FedEx a note to you which I ask that you pass to him after the reading. (Proposed text: Will you go with me? Check yes or no.“)
Meanwhile, if he could, TEV would be in the front row with “I love you” written on his eyelids, like the girl at the beginning of “Raiders of the Lost Ark.”
