Books Reading Today
Posted by Paul Constant on Sun, Nov 30, 2008 at 10:08 AM
There is an open mic and one reading today, at Town Hall. They'll be doing a Hanukkah-themed Short Stories Live. If you haven't attended a Short Stories Live performance before, it's actors reading work by different authors, usually on some kind of a theme. Today, they'll read Hanukkah-themed work by Sholem Aleichem, Lemony Snicket, Max Apple, Gloria DeVidas Kirchheimer, and Daniel Mark Epstein.
Aleichem and Epstein write some great stuff, but iIf you have not read Lemony Snicket's The Latke Who Wouldn't Stop Screaming, you are missing out on the glories of Jewish holidays.
Full readings calendar, including the next week or so, is here.

I have to second your seal of approval on The Latke Who Wouldn't Stop Screaming. My boyfriend (a goy) and I (a Jew) moved in together a year ago and this book symbolized the melding of our end-of-the-year traditions. It is especially wonderful to read out loud to your loved ones over a plate of latkes and by the light of a Christmas tree.
