2014 – The RB Lit Review

December 31, 2014 by Drew

And so, friends, we come to the end of another year.  So many books read, so much to recap – so let’s dive in. VITAL STATS, YEAR FOUR: Books Read: 137 Pages Read: 48,900 (an exact round number – weiiiird) Average Rating: 3.89 (a definite drop from the last two years, although this may reflect a somewhat broader scope of reading? or sharper critical thinking? who knows.) Highest Rating(s): – 6 out of 5 Jeff VanderMeer’s The Southern Reach Trilogy (Annihilation, Authority, Acceptance) was maybe the […]

The Originals Series: Shelly Oria & Slothrust

November 19, 2014 by Drew

It’s cold outside! Like, really fucking cold. So, not surprisingly, the latest installment of The Originals Series headed indoors: to a strange room at 22 Boerum Place described alternately as a mausoleum, Turkish bath, former bank, and cult meeting space (all descriptions c/o David Rees) in Brooklyn. And while the vibe was a little stuffy at first, probably because nobody quite knew what to do in said slightly-crumbling marble space, it loosened up right quick – and that is, I […]

The Originals Series: Catherine Lacey & Sasha Frere-Jones

July 25, 2014 by Drew

Have I told you how much I loved Catherine Lacey’s Nobody Is Ever Missing?  Because I did, immensely.  And we all know I love FSG’s Originals Series.  And I also, also love The New Yorker.  So, on yet another well-timed evening (weather-wise), all of these things came together out at Interstate in Brooklyn.  There was also bourbon and Bud.  And rocks on the ground, surrounding pieces of art that it was unclear whether or not we were supposed to step on… Anyway. […]

The Originals Series: Katherine Faw Morris & Deniro Farrar

June 6, 2014 by Drew

Summer’s pretty much here folks – and so the time is right for an outside party.  We all know it and the weather gods smiled last night upon the fair borough of Brooklyn for the return of the FSG Originals Series.  In a new venue (well, new to me anyway) and with a new host, it ended up being maybe the best one yet. First, a note on the space.  Interstate is, it would seem, an art gallery – some lovely […]

The Originals Series: Jeff Vandermeer & Future of What

February 27, 2014 by Drew

After our long cold winter (which is, apparently, still not over), the best book parties in New York City returned to Studio X last night – with the author of my so-far-favorite book of the year.  That’s right, folks – the FSG Originals Series (presented in conjunction with Vulture and GQ) are back.  And damn, it feels good to’ve been there. It felt like seeing an old friend, to be honest.  Not much has changed about the general setup of […]
