Nathaniel Rich and Colum McCann
celebrate a new book of Paris Review interviews

At the bookstore, there will be a wild cast of Paris Review contributors including (but not limited to) Nathaniel Rich (The Mayor’s Tongue) and Colum McCann (Let The Great World Spin, Zoli, Dancer) as they read in celebration of the new anthology of Paris Review interviews and the newly-released 4-volume Paris Review interview boxed set.  A boxed set, wouldn’t that make a lovely holiday gift?  And you could get it signed, too.  And we’ll have free wine and cheese… Oh, December 15th, come soon!

I am in the midst of reading, inhaling, enjoying McCann's book, "Let the Great World Spin" so I will make every effort to be there b/c I think he is an inspiring writer. Says the Guardian: "In the exact centre of this novel, poised, is a 10-page account of Philippe Petit’s preparation for his 1974 high-wire walk between the Twin Towers of the World Trade Centre. Colum McCann’s story of interlocking lives in New York is structured on either side of this interlude, and bears no direct relation to it, but it is the brief impossibility of Petit’s balancing act that holds it together."
