2007 New Yorker Festival
Here is the schedule for the 2007 New Yorker Festival. For those who dont know, its a great way to hear writers speak and talk, and also read from their works.
They also have two seperate days when there are just signings. Below are the authors who are signing and I am very impressed with the list including authors like Rushdie and Proulx. Needless to say, I am very excited!
If you are going to be in NY, let me know
