Festival

Orhan Pamuk and Salman Rushdie who are to challenge each other during “Authors dialogue,” a festival organized by the New Yorker. The festival will take place between Oct. 5-7 in New York.

This weekend, for anyone nearby

Im more interested in the festival than I am the book,
its described as "a week long orgy of art, fire, community and free expression."
hmmm

Just in case someone is near there.

"The Festival will bring together small publishers and quality literature from Sweden, Norway and Denmark. The purpose of the event is to draw attention to the smaller Nordic publishers and to Nordic poetry, as well as to encourage a sense of Nordic community."

Hey if anyone finds one in Australia feel free to sing out.
No wonder the rest of the world thinks Australia is a third world country, we never get anything of this scale here.
