By the way, I wanted to mention that tomorrow night kicks off the new season of The Rake’s monthly happy hour of literature–the one we call “Raking Through Books.” It’s an opportunity to come to our favorite watering hole, Kieran’s Irish Pub, rub elbows with your fellow Rake readers, and, y’know, generally participate in the Cultural Conversation. (Plus: Delicious complimentary appetizers!)
The new season brings a new format, of sorts. Our guest will be novelist Julie Schumacher. I’ll be facilitating a (hopefully) interesting conversation about fantasy literature (think Narnia, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter) and the intersection of children’s and adult literature, among many other things. Ms. Schumacher, you probably know, is also a professor at the University of Minnesota, where she specializes in monsters under the bed and that sort of thing.
The microphone switches on around 5:30 p.m. in the Titanic Room, to the rear of Kieran’s. Hope to see you there!
