This is Brooklyn right now

This is an NYC Area Alert: in two hours, Sam Lipsyte, Colson Whitehead and Heidi Julavits will be reading on behalf of Harper’s as part of Love: A Rebuke, at Housing Works Bookstore and Cafe. Schools are closed. Roads are treacherous. Love sucks. And literature–well, she marches (anyway, stumbles through snowdrifts) bravely on! I am leaving my house for the first and presumably only time today to catch this awesomeness. Hope to see you there.
