Table of Contents, Volume Four (March 2016)

April 12, 2016 by Dani

Because I am addicted to offbeat, curated literary events, I’ve been trying to attend a Table of Contents event at Egg for months – and I finally did it! The brainchild of Egg’s head chef Evan Hanczor, the series started as a full meal themed around a novel. The updated format of the series, however, has each event feature a lineup of contemporary authors reading from their recent work, along with small dishes inspired by the excerpts. The roster on March 16th (“Volume […]

Marie-Helene Bertino & Laura van den Berg at Community Bookstore

November 3, 2015 by Dani

To celebrate the paperback release of her first novel, Marie-Helene Bertino asked Laura van den Berg to join her at the adorable Community Bookstore in Park Slope for an evening of reading and conversation. I just finished 2AM at the Cat’s Pajamas and loved it. Find Me was my favorite read of 2014, and I devoured all LvdB stories I could get my hands on shortly thereafter. As I waited for the authors to take their places, I watched the bookstore’s resident cat […]

Laura van den Berg in Conversation with Catherine Lacey at McNally Jackson

February 19, 2015 by Dani

In the past month, I’ve discovered two new favorite books. Find Me by Laura van den Berg and Nobody is Ever Missing by Catherine Lacey. Van den Berg (henceforth known here as LvdB) is getting crazy good press right now – Salon thinks she’s “the best young writer in America,” and I probably agree. Both books garnered 5+ ratings here on the blog. So I’m not alone! Much to my delight, the NYC launch of Find Me entailed a conversation between LvdB and Lacey at McNally Jackson. And it was great! Everything you […]

Story Time: A Reflection on Margaret Atwood’s MaddAddam Trilogy

February 9, 2015 by Dani

Trilogies are odd. They’re not always big enough to span the sort of time and adventure that longer series do, but they’re split into parts for a reason, right? So sometimes in reading trilogies I find myself wanting the whole scoop all at once. I want to have the bird’s-eye-view so I know what I’m dealing with. I suppose you could say I’m a greedy reader. THUS: Drew and I finished the MaddAddam Trilogy at the same time, so while his excellent […]

Selected Shorts: The Best American Short Stories 2014

November 20, 2014 by Dani

(ed. note – after much time thinking about it and a happy arrangement of circumstances that demanded it, we’re thrilled to bring you our first guest-written post here at RB.  Dani’s bio can be found on the new contributor page.  An immense thanks to Symphony Space and Selected Shorts – and to this new addition to the crew!) I should disclose two biases, which are that I love short stories, and I love being read aloud to. This is to say, I […]
