June 25, Friday morning (or perhaps later, depending on when you see this) -- Reading Sona Avakian

The featured reader in this post is, well, actually, you.
Picture yourself here, reading Sona Avakian's article about Summer Reading. Sona is my homonym friend (like Lenin and Lennon, but not as close). In the article she interviews four authors -- Elif Batuman, Gideon Lewis-Kraus, Damion Searls, and Justin Taylor -- about summer reading.

Article about Summer Reading

If you're in San Francisco on Saturday night (I won't be -- I'll be camping and reading Farm City, by Novella Carpenter, by the light of a campfire on the shore of a lake, where by day it's supposed to be -- don't be jealous Sona -- 104 degrees) go hear Elif Batuman, Gideon Lewis-Kraus, Damion Searls, and Justin Taylor read at a Believer event. It's at Amnesia. Don't forget. It's free.
