Happy Belated 60th Anniversary of Shirley Jackson's "The Lottery"
Filed under: On the Spot Tagged: Benjamin Chambers, Shirley Jackson
From Benjamin Chambers:
Yep, it’s been a little over 60 years since the publication of Shirley Jackon’s classic story, The Lottery, which first appeared in the June 26, 1948 issue of The New Yorker.
In Jackson’s honor, the well-known sci-fi editor Ellen Datlow will be hosting a reading of Jackson’s work tonight—that’s July 23rd—from 7pm- 9pm at KGB Bar in New York City (85 East 4th Street, just off 2nd Ave, upstairs). Because the event is a fundraiser for The Shirley Jackson Awards, there will be a $5 cover charge. A list of authors who will be reading can be found here.
