JIM NASON (Narcissus Unfolding, The Fist of Remembering) and DANI COUTURE (Good Meat, Sweet) headline a decidedly festive line-up at BEN McNALLY BOOKS this Saturday from 2-4 (and their books make fabulous holiday gifts).
Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent.

The life force that is JOHN GIORNO on his 75th birthday tour.

To the organizers: Nothing could’ve stopped the life force that is John Giorno. Not the terrible mic or sound. Nor the faulty taped mic stand (ditto on the shot music stand). Nor the inexcusably short powerlines/cords causing readers to contort onto the stage, fearful (warned, actually) that any movement might cause imminent harm. The fact that the host recounted her accident/spill over this same set-up last reading didn’t help matters.
If this wasn’t so hazardous, it would simply be ludicrous. A disservice to all. Shame.
