There are a ton of readings tonight, including what could be an intriguing double-feature.

At Third Place Books, William Dietrich reads from The Rosetta Key. It feels as though, this month, William Dietrich is always reading The Rosetta Key somewhere.

The University Book Store is hosting two readings: Ch’oe Yun, who the bookstore calls “one of Korea’s most important fiction writers,” will be appearing with Bruce Fulton, her translator. And Christopher Sanford will be reading from his book The Adventurous Traveler’s Guide to Health, which will hopefully be useful for those who like to travel with their genitals.

Also in the U District, at Kane Hall, Maresi Nerad and Mimi Heggelund read from Toward a Global PhD? This is a book about the impact of globalization on grad school. The three of you out there who find that last sentence interesting should totally go.

Finally, at Elliott Bay Book Company at 6 pm, Marc Acito reads from his new book, Attack of the Theater People. It’s a novel about theater kids. Acito will be doing what he calls “a book singing,” where he (and I believe other people) will sing bits from popular musicals. If you want to, you could double-feature this reading with the Elliott Bay 8 pm reading, which is Aleksandar Hemon, the author of the terrific The Question of Bruno, who is in town with his new novel The Lazarus Project. Obviously, if I had to pick one, I would pick Hemon, because he’s a great writer, but the combination of the two readings—theater kids and songs from musicals combined with gruff, gorgeous writing about thuggish eastern European immigrants—would be the equivalent of literary whiplash.
