Bechdel has Fun in NYC

For those New Yorkers who missed seeing Alison Bechdel at the New York Comic Con, she reports that she’s in town again today and tomorrow, appearing at National Book Critics Circle award events.  Her graphic novel Fun Home has been nominated for one of these awards, and Bechdel reports that "There’s a reading of all the finalists Wednesday evening at 6pm at The New School University, Tishman Auditorium, 66 W. 12th St.

"There’ll be some pretty fancy people there. A real literary smorgasbord. You should come! It’s free and open to the public. Then on Thursday the 8th, the award ceremony happens. That also appears to be free and open to the public, and also happens at 6pm at Tishman Auditorium. Though it probably won’t be as interesting as the reading."  More info on the NBCC site.
