HEY NEW YORK- Tomorrow is the Housing Works Bookstore Cafe Street Fair. It’ll be going all day (10a-6p) with free live music and lots of really cheap books. Last year (six months ago? whenever it was–last time) I got The Oxford Book of Letters, edited by Frank Kermode and his wife, for a dollar. But don’t worry, they’ll also have books that real people actually want, and those books will be a dollar each, too. Plus clothing, records, savory meats, and more. Full details here.

      are you kidding? I would most likely be all over anything called The Oxford Book of Letters and edited by Kermode and his wife.

      oh well. another reason to wish there were any chance of my being in New York this summer.

      You nailed it; I was kidding. I’m actually a real person, too.

      I recently read that most of Kermode’s personal library was destroyed back in the 90s when he mistook his trash collectors for his movers.
