Narrative Magazine Benefit Tonight

posted by on November 8 at 15:42 PM

Charles D’Ambrosio, Rick Bass, and some others are doing a benefit reading tonight on Mercer Island for Narrative Magazine, which John Marshall wrote about in yesterday’s P-I.

Today, Narrative boasts 15,000 readers from around the globe who have signed on as free “subscribers” to a magazine that is published three times a year — and is only available on the Internet… Joyce Carol Oates praises the online publication as “one of the most exciting and innovative literary magazines I have seen in the past decade,” while T.C. Boyle salutes it as “a writer’s dream come true.”

The ticket price is less than a dream come true: $100. The event starts at 6 pm at the house of Cynthia Hartwig and Tom Booster. Call 206-652-8398 if you’re interested. Less expensive option: Get yourself a copy of D’Ambrosio’s The Dead Fish Museum (only $22, reviewed here by Jonathan Lethem, Dale Peck, and others) and read it in your own home…
