...to make it to the Junot Díaz reading tonight at the Hammer Museum. As I mentioned the last time I saw him read - wow. If you can make it out tonight, even if you have to dash all the way across town in horrendous traffic, it will be worth it. He will make it worth it. Really.
If you can't make it tonight (and you should, you really should), there are plenty of other good lit bits happening this week, including a joint discussion of Raymond Chandler's work with Judith Freeman and Denise Hamilton. Now that's what I call pulling in the right folks for the right topic!
