The Dead-In

This isn’t for a week-and-a-half yet, but I know how busy you all are, particularly on Mondays in the middle of March.  But prepare to take off your winter hat and put on your tam o’shanter because winter is (at least technically) ending soon and Saint Patrick’s Day is fast approaching.

On March 16th (St. Patrick’s Eve), I’ll be hosting The Dead-In at Ada Books, wherein I’ll mumble a few words about James Joyce before everybody launches into an out-loud reading of Joyce’s long short story/short novella.  It’ll be  a festive, though moody, way to say goodbye to winter and celebrate possibly the greatest short story to ever come out of Ireland.

(Last year’s Frome-In was lots of fun, and by several accounts the best thing that Not About The Buildings has organized so far.  I can only imagine that this one will be better, especially since most people don’t generally have a deeply-rooted dread of “The Dead” the way they do with Ethan Frome.)
