LIT WITS

Come out and celebrate eight years of Opium, one of the best literary mags around. For this very special evening, Opium’s founding editor Todd Zuniga interviews The New Yorker editor Ben Greenman (author of Correspondences and A Circle Is a Balloon and Compass Both), Anthony Tognazzini (author of I Carry a Hammer in My Pocket for Occasions Such as These), and author/editor Stephen Elliott (Happy Baby). The after-party is at Home Sweet Home (131 Chrystie Street), featuring New York Tyrant’s frontman Giancarlo DiTrapano on the turntables, followed by Brits the Fixture in the Mixture.
