What better place for a bookstore to set up an outpost but at a really great
bar.
Especially if the bar is the
KGB and it's the
Wednesday night Fantastic Fiction series (there's also a night called Careening Drunk Writers...).
But
Word travels. At least from Brooklyn or Jersey City to the East Village where great writers get a chance to read great stories.
And tonight was no different, with
Carola Dibbell reading from the acclaimed and heralded debut novel,
The Only Ones and
Gemma Files taking folks on a ride through hell with her
Book of Tongues.
Well, like peanut butter and chocolate or jelly or whatever ones likes with peanut butter, writers hanging out in a bar having a great drink and listening to wild and thrilling stories and books on the back shelf like candy just waiting to be snapped up seems a hellava lot more fun than swiping right or left or screaming over a $20 martini.
