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

whoa, more “collaborations” between grove & htmlgiant plz.
also, seems sweet. is it just you that will be reading? 15-25 hours of reading outloud sounds dangerous mang
Nick Bruno will be spelling me here and there, so I can eat and use the bathroom.
INTERNET HIGH FIVE
Kyle, this is exciting. Would it be possible to record? I might not be able to sit in.
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 sounds great.
I was planning on going on vacation this Friday, now I might have to stay home for a few days. Damn you Kyle!
Well, it looks like my weekend is planned.

I love the new Harper’s piece, “Rangoon Green.” Is this in the collection? Fantastic!
Yes, it is. Three other new ones, too.
Have you read The Tennis Handsome? Amazing, hilarious, fun.
Wonderful way to honor one of the great Southern writers of all time.

I approve this collaboration.
Awesome.
IF ONLY ZZZZIPP COULD USE THE INTERNET PAST MIDNIGHT
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.
i want to sleep in her uterus with my foot hanging out
I will be watching some of this, Kyle and am very excited for this. Drink lots of water.
Midnight what timezone?
When is the link for the stream going to be up? And is it Eastern time?
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.
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.
