Ventured out (hopefully not reeking of garlic) for what transpired to be a fun little soirée at Swann Galleries in honour of One Story magazine. A.M Homes read her short story that had accompanied a catalogue for artist Rachel Whiteread (she's also done Cecily Brown and many others - what a relief: a short story rather than an art essay). There was a literature trivia quiz (with prizes) that I approached full of trepidation but was rather less formidable and unscary - not telling if I won anything;) And we saw a 2nd edition copy of Joyce's Ulysses up for auction this week. The custodian quipping that it made her life a whole lot easier when someone hadn't managed to reach the end as in this case (as she must check every page). There's no excuse not to finish One Story, though, so sign up for a subscription today!
