Wouldn't miss it for the world. Richard Meier. Amy Sohn. I am so psyched.
Momasphere will host author Amy Sohn for a reading of her latest novel Prospect Park West (Simon & Schuster; September 1, 2009; $25.00) on October 8th, 2009 from 7-9pm at the Richard Meier On Prospect Park.
I've got my ticket and I am triply excited to see inside the RIchard Meier building, hear Amy Sohn read from her book and to support my friend and fellow Blogfest organizer the beautiful Melissa Lopata.
I won't be bringing an olive branch—or maybe I should. But I would really like to put this Smartmom vs. Amy Sohn thing behind me.
Yesterday Gothamist ran an interview with Amy Sohn. She was asked about some comment I made on my blog. Here's FIPS:
in which we learn that despite the fact that she gives great BJ's, she
considers herself an "uncool mom" (unless, of course, that's part of
the whole "I think you have an act; and that not having an act is your
act" thing–I'm bad with quotes, but I've met her and she *does* seem
kinda cool). Also, she talks a bit about Smartmom.
Tickets are $10 in advance, $15 at the door. Book Court will offer
discounted copies of the book for $20. A portion of the proceeds from
this event will benefit www.childrenofthecity.com.
See you there! Should be fun.
