I’ll be reading with Chiara Barzini and Catherine Lacey this Thursday, Jan. 12th, at Pacific Standard in Brooklyn. 7 PM.  Just finished reading Chiara’s excellent debut SISTER STOP BREATHING. I began it on the subway last night and finished it this morning. I highly recommend this talented new voice.
