Adam Levin reads The Instructions at Quimby's

Adam Levin will be reading from his debut novel, The Instructions, at 7pm on Thursday, October 21st at Quimby's Books (1854 North Ave). An afterparty with drinks and snacks will follow the reading (around 8 or 8:30pm) at 826CHI, located at 1331 N Milwaukee, a five minute walk from Quimby's.

All are invited to both events. 826CHI politely requests that you rsvp for the afterparty at rsvp@826CHI.org. A flier for the event can be found here.

Levin taught Fiction last spring at Roosevelt, and also teaches writing at Columbia College and The School of the Art Institute. His stories have appeared in Tin House, McSweeney's, and Esquire, and his work has been compared to David Foster Wallace by New York Magazine and the Chicago Sun-Times.

Oyez Review Reading: This Friday

Head over to Quimby's Bookstore in Wicker Park friday night for our second Oyez Review reading, featuring contributor Lori Rader Day, as well as plenty of student-read favorites from Issue 36.

The show starts at 7pm, but our first reading this year (at Hyde Park's 57th Street Books) had a huge turnout, so come a little early to grab a seat (and shop).
