In the New Yorker...
Jeff Wrangler:
I'm reading the August 25 article about the volcanic eruption in Iceland. There is a photo of a wedding taking place against the backdrop of the lava flow. The photo is of two guys getting married.

I think I'm going to tune in to The New Yorker Live this afternoon to see what it's all about. Has anyone gone to this? It will be David Byrne and a few others.
serious crayons:
How was it?
Front-Ranger:
Apparently you're supposed to sign up in advance. I couldn't get in. I'll try again next week.
Meanwhile I was browsing around the web site and read about how George Saunders conceived his story in this week's issue. Probably a bad idea to read about the making of the story before you read the actual story.
Front-Ranger:
I went out today to a bookstore that is 10 miles away! Not very environmentally correct of me but it's getting so good bookstores are few and far between. At least I didn't order on Amazon.
I found the book Real Estate by Deborah :Levy, which was reviewed in TNY a couple of weeks ago. Started it and like it well. I forgot I don't usually like autobiographies, but this one seems okay so far. Not too self-absorbed.
