1. Two NYRB Classics Contributors in Conversation this Thursday at Unnameable Books, Prospect Heights, Brooklyn →

    It’s a launch party for Prehistoric Times by Eric Chevillard, published by Archipelago, which is reason enough to attend, but if you need another, it’s also an opportunity to eavesdrop on a conversation between an utterly charming and witty pair: Alyson Waters (translator of Albert Cossery) and Donald Nicholson-Smith (a real-life Situationist and translator of J.-P. Manchette)
