New Yorker Festival Action on Craigslist, and Free Jeffrey Frank

Filed under: New Yorker Festival Tagged: books, Calvin Trillin, Craigslist, events, fiction, food, Nathaniel Hawthorne, New Yorker Festival

There are still New Yorker Festival tickets available, so act fast! Not to mention a busy trade in festival events going on at Craigslist. As they say in The Scarlet Letter, "We must not always talk in the marketplace of what happens to us in the forest," and vice versa. That said, give up now on getting into "Come Hungry"—you must remain hungry for another year, I'm afraid. Read some of Trillin's books instead; they'll fill you up!

Meanwhile, Lilit at Save the Assistants has a snappy account of her interview with New Yorker editor Jeffrey Frank. They're even giving away a couple of copies of his new novel, Trudy Hopedale. Read on.

Attn Emdashes staff! the lastest issue
of The Advocate has an interview with
New Yorker cartoonist William Haefeli, that
is quite interesting. Can it be linked to this
site?

About us

Hello! We are media enthusiasts and culture addicts—not to mention classically trained (as we like to say) professional journalists. This is our collection of generally civilized conversations about magazines, movies, politics, punctuation, and other things that stir us.

You'd like to read more about us individually? That's so nice! Here you can learn a lot more about the Emdashes team, the mysterious-sounding names of our daily and non-daily columns, and our guest contributors.

We welcome tips, questions, and comments, and are always looking for ardent new contributors who care about letters (postal, typographical, admiring, literary, and tough-love). Here's how to contact us.

Occasionally, we host book giveaways, and review books here as often as we can. Publishers, please e-mail us and we'll send you an appropriate mailing address.

They say that dashes “are particularly useful in a sentence that is long and complex.” Emdashes—like em dashes—provides a thoughtful pause amid the hubbub.

Emdashes, founded in 2004, is currently written and drawn by Emily Gordon, Martin Schneider, Pollux, Jonathan Taylor, and Benjamin Chambers, as well as occasional guest contributors. (Unsigned posts through October 2008 are by Emily Gordon.)

The site is designed and maintained by House of Pretty and illustrated by Jesse Ewing for Inkleaf Studio. Additional drawings are by Carolita Johnson and Pollux (who also draws our daily comic, "The Wavy Rule"). The kissable Emdashes logo is by Jennifer Hadley, based on a 1943 Dorothy Gray ad.
