Lit Quake's NYC Lit Crawl Presents: National Book Critics Revise and Recant

Start:
September 11, 2010 6:00 pm
End:
September 11, 2010 6:45 pm
Venue:
Bar 82
Address:
136 2nd Ave, New York, NY 10003, USA

Goofs, gaffes, guilt.  As part of the tumultuous (and free)Litquake NYC Lit Crawl on September 11, the National Book Critics Circle and other critics make public apologies for their crimes. Critic Dale Peck and  current and former NBCC board members including Lev Grossman, Lizzie Skurnick, John Reed and Jane Ciabattari, will plead for forgiveness for villainy and negligence in their reviews.  Heartfelt entreaties from the crowd will make this a thoroughly punishing and satisfying tribunal.

This is the third annual Lit Crawl New York, which originators describe as a madcap concept created by San Francisco’s brilliant literary festival, Litquake, back in 2004. It's a bar crawl... with literature!
