This Week's Literary Events

If you have some extra time this week, you might want to check out some of these readings.  Remember, you're required to go to two readings during the semester and write a short review of each on this blog, so this is a good opportunity to get one or both of those done.  If you're planning to go to any of these, feel free to leave a comment, and perhaps a few of you can go together.
