They were among the first to hop the THE MONSTERS OF TEMPLETON train, and have been unflagging in their support since. I cannot wait to visit them. This is their Redondo Beach location, which looks divine. It's chic and sleek.]]> http://www.laurengroff.com/mysterious-galaxy-redondo-beach-los-angeles-730-pm/feed/ 0 http://www.laurengroff.com/little-rock-ar-arkansas-literary-festival/ http://www.laurengroff.com/little-rock-ar-arkansas-literary-festival/#comments Thu, 16 Feb 2012 15:21:42 +0000 admin http://www.laurengroff.com/?p=970 this event, so voila! Here we are. I will update with more information when more information is updatable. In the meantime, kittens, imagine this: Dan Chaon will also be there. Justin Torres. Greil Marcus. Heidi Julavits. All this to say that they have put together a humdinger this year.  ]]> http://www.laurengroff.com/little-rock-ar-arkansas-literary-festival/feed/ 0 http://www.laurengroff.com/atlanta-ga-savannah-college-of-art-and-design-ivy-hall-630-pm/ http://www.laurengroff.com/atlanta-ga-savannah-college-of-art-and-design-ivy-hall-630-pm/#comments Thu, 16 Feb 2012 15:13:21 +0000 admin http://www.laurengroff.com/?p=968 http://www.laurengroff.com/atlanta-ga-savannah-college-of-art-and-design-ivy-hall-630-pm/feed/ 0 http://www.laurengroff.com/orlando-university-of-central-florida-book-festival/ http://www.laurengroff.com/orlando-university-of-central-florida-book-festival/#comments Thu, 16 Feb 2012 15:03:09 +0000 admin http://www.laurengroff.com/?p=966 This event looks wonderful. I'm not sure what the schedule is like quite yet, but it appears that I will be on a panel with the lovely David James Poissant, one of my favorite young writers.

His books, his stories, his extremely kind heart. He's the kind of writer any young writer would love to someday be; critical darling, Pulitzer-winner, a man of extreme generosity to younger writers. He picked a story of mine for Best American Short Stories, then, when we were both in Paris for Festival America, he and his magnificent wife took  the wonderful writer Ben Percy and me out to dinner. I had squid-ink pasta and delicious prosecco, and can say that that night was possibly the best I've had in my literary career. Stars in my eyes. His daughter, Emily, is an amazing advocate for books and writers and she works at Greenlight. She is as kind as her father. We will talk. I will bring baked goods. I will try not to talk to fast and garble all the millions of questions I have for Mr. Russo. It will be a night. A night, I say. And you, too, can bask in the warmth the great man gives off.  ]]> http://www.laurengroff.com/richard-russo-greenlight-bookstore-brooklyn-730-pm/feed/ 0 http://www.laurengroff.com/new-york-state-writers-institute-albany-ny-seminar-415-reading-8pm/ http://www.laurengroff.com/new-york-state-writers-institute-albany-ny-seminar-415-reading-8pm/#comments Thu, 16 Feb 2012 14:43:05 +0000 admin http://www.laurengroff.com/?p=961 New York State Writers' Institute.
