Lapham's Quarterly will be helping to run the ATP Book Club at The National's event; one session they will be discussing Patti Smith's Just Kids, and Colson Whitehead's Zone One in another session; see your timecards at the event for details. Author Stuart Evers will also be attending to participate in the discussions.
Lapham's Quarterly is a literary magazine that sets the story of the past in the frame of the present. Four times a year, the editors choose a question current in the news--foreign war, financial panic, magical thinking--and bring answers to it from authors whose powers of observation and expression have passed the test of time. On newsstands now: "Intoxication." This issue explores our deep desire to alter our mental and physical states, from the craving, to the high, and the dreaded hangover. Among the contributors, Charles Baudelaire urges one to always be drunk, Emily Dickinson gets high on life, Walter Benjamin takes a leisurely stroll on hashish, Billie Holiday dries out, Giacomo Casanova goes on a Venetian bender, and much more.
