Barry Hannah Marathon Reading (Midnight, Dec. 5)

Tonight at Midnight, I’ll be reading Long, Last, Happy in its entirety in an exclusive HTMLGIANT webcast. Thanks to the good people at Grove/Atlantic, we’ll be giving away copies of the book and exclusive Barry Hannah bookmarks and stickers manufactured by Square Books in Oxford, Mississippi, Barry’s hometown bookstore. The estimated duration of the webcast will be 15-25 hours. Stop by, have a listen, leave a comment about your favorite Barry Hannah story.

Live updates (what story I’m reading, how to win a free copy of Long, Last, Happy) starting at midnight on Twitter: follow @kyle_minor

      Kyle, this is exciting. Would it be possible to record? I might not be able to sit in.

  5. Kyle Minor

      Under our agreement with Barry Hannah’s estate and Grove/Atlantic, we can’t record or archive. It’s a one-time stream, and once it’s gone, it’s gone.

      This is great, Kyle. Love Barry Hannah. And I have great memories of Square Books, too… that place saved my life the two years I spent in the Delta.

      Midnight what timezone?

  26. Jeff Newmexican

      When is the link for the stream going to be up? And is it Eastern time?

  27. Kyle Minor

      Midnight Eastern Time. The viewing window will go up around that time, and it will be at the top of the HTMLGIANT page all day, so long as somebody keeps bumping it up.

  28. Scott mcclanahan

      Yes!

      New/final book arrived today, and I have a question about the dedication page. Did Barry’s widow also die before publication? Thanks for whatever light anyone can shed on this.
