Fiction Review: The Ground by Rowan Ricardo Phillips. Farrar, Straus and Giroux, $23 (80p) ISBN 978

Publishers Weekly on RRP's THE GROUND: "Lyrical . . . Richly allusive . . . Much of the book’s brilliance derives from gleeful bounding through literary history."

This lyrical and richly allusive debut is in large part a meditative elegy for New York City in the aftermath of the September 11 attacks, but it’s also restitution for losses the city has endured.

Please join us next week for Glyn Maxwell and Rowan Ricardo Phillips, Tuesday April 3! at the Russian Samovar!

Love Goes to Buildings on Fire — Five Years in New York That Changed Music Forever — By Will Hermes.

A great review in the New York Times Book Review!

The Bronx may have been burning, but downtown Manhattan’s mid-’70s music scene was even hotter.

I thought I'd post this, since I didn't find it intuitive: to indicate that you're attending the reading with Will Hermes and Ellen Ullman, you press the "Join" button (which is different from "Liking" the page--I hope you do both!).
