If You're Free Tonight...

...I've got this thing at Lolita (on the corner of Broome & Allen) from 6 to 9 p.m., where I'll be hanging out with Phil Campbell (left), the author of Zioncheck for President. Folks from nearby indie bookstore Bluestockings will be on hand to sell Phil's book, along with The Stewardess Is Flying the Plane!, and we'll sign them for you gladly.

It's a busy night, though: KGB's monthly Novel Jews series pays tribute to Henry Roth, as Daphne Merkin and Steve Stern speak alongside Roth's editor, Bob Weil. The Strand is hosting a conversation between literary cartoonists Seth and Adrian Tomine, and Amanda Stern's Happy Ending will celebrate the publication of Andrew Blauner's anthology Coach, with readings by Chip McGrath, Darin Strauss, and Thomas Beller, with special musical guest Lisa Loeb.
