Reading Aloud

It’s going to be a good day if you’re wanting to hear writers read from or talk about their works. Robert Bly’s at the University of Minnesota’s Wiley Hall to read some of his poems. Katherine Lanpher’s at the Fitzgerald to plug her new book. But my sincerest recommendation goes to a thrid event: Iranian cartoonist Marjane Satrapi is appearing at Lyndale Congressional Church to speak about her graphic memoir, Chicken With Plums. Of the three, this is sure to be the most intimate affair. It’s certainly less likely to be repeated anytime soon, in any case. Check the Rain Taxi site for Satrapi’s quick bio and more information about the event.
