This Saturday I’ll be joining Cat Zhang, Zach Seely and Oliver Munday to launch Faber’s reissue of Anders Bodelsen’s 1969 Dystopian Sci-Fi novel FREEZING POINT, translated from the Danish by Joan Tate, which is also about magazines.
Come join us at 2pm at Head Hi in Brooklyn!
As column space for book reviews shrinks in major publications, the role of literary criticism is once again in the spotlight. Join Kismet EIC Samuel Rutter, newly-minted New Yorker critic Becca Rothfeld, New York Times critic Parul Sehgal and Bookforum editor Michael Miller to discuss the future of the book review.
