Kate Gavino - Last Night's Reading: Illustrated Encounters with Extraordinary Authors
For recent readings in and around New York City, Gavino’s colorful collection of Tumblr postings is surely the next-best thing to being there. Cutting to the chase, the Brooklyn-based writer and illustrator captures the liveliest quotes, accompanying her beautiful, hand-lettered characters with an equally vivid color-drawing of the author. Ranging from major venues with major writers to ambient-rich holes-in-the-wall, these unique reports on the literary scene show us why we love going to readings.
