Happenings...

David Hollander, Susan Karwoska, and Lynn Chandok were part of failbetter presents Octoberfest at Great Lakes, which included readings of new work by each.  It should be noted that Hollander was attacked by a feral canine on his way to the reading, but nonetheless arrived--bleeding and smiling--setting the standard for us all.

Brian Evenson, Gary Lutz, and Patrick Ehlen read at our November reading, which was held at the CUNY Graduate Center in Manhattan.  Gordon Lish guest-hosted the event, introducing each of the writers.
