April Member Reading
With the intention of adding a description that would capture the magnetism of the April reading which these pictures cannot, we have put off this entry long enough. The description of the reading will not follow, but you'll have to trust us on this one. With three uber talented writers—one a lyrical memorist, one a burgeoning young adult writer and one a humble master of the short story—and a crowd that hooted and hollered the night away, this reading was electric. (See "Read more..." for more pictures and captions.)
A packed house, anticipation palpable.
Look closely, there's Martin between two adoring fans.
All of Ed's co-workers came out to drink to his success, and hear him read.
Ed spins the hippy longings of his youth into a touching essay, forthcoming in the anthology Girls Who Like Boys Who Like Boys.(Dutton 2007)
Two teens wax sexual in a hotel room. So that's what Martin's writing at Paragraph! His book, What They Always Tell Us, is forthcoming from Delacorte/Random House.
We had to include this rare shot of Ed with no glasses.
Sorry Patrick. The flash died. Ladies and gentlemen, Patrick Ryan!
