Is everyone already leaving town for the holidays? Our calendar here at Reader, Meet Author is looking a little lonely right now. If you have any tips or complaints that we’re not posting all the awesome poetry readings, feel free to email us.
MONDAY:
Caroline Kennedy will be at Politics and Prose to share the Christmas prose most dear to her. It’s all in her latest book, A Family Christmas, which includes tributes to Irving Berlin songs, Bible verses, Robert Frost poems and Run-DMC. Yes, you read that correctly. We can think of one possible explanation, but we’ll leave it up to you, dear reader, to find out who in the Kennedy is a big fan of Reverend Run. 6:30 p.m.
Here’s a book that has us intrigued: Phoebe Damrosch worked as the first female head waiter at New York City’s four-star restaurant Per Se and apparently learned a lot of interesting things during her stint. She’ll be at the Penn Quarter Olsson’s to discuss her memoir, Service Included: Four-Star Secrets of an Eavesdropping Waiter. 7 p.m.
TUESDAY:
Rescheduled from last week, Judith Jones, cookbook editor at Knopf, brings her memoir, The Tenth Muse: My Life in Food, to Politics and Prose. 7 p.m.
WEDNESDAY:
Dr. Trita Parsi will be at Busboys and Poets in Arlington to discuss and read from his latest book, Treacherous Alliance: The Secret Dealings of Israel, Iran, and the United States. Notice we wrote Busboys and Poets in Arlington, not D.C. It’s a first for us to be posting an event at that location, so we’re basking in the moment. Congrats guys! 6 p.m.
