Just another night in NYC

* Tonight I went to the American Folk Art Museum to see the Henry Darger exhibit, DARGERISM: CONTEMPORARY ARTISTS AND HENRY DARGER. The museum features works by Amy Cutler, Henry Darger, Jefferson Friedman, Anthony Goicolea, Trenton Doyle Hancock, Yun-Fei Ji, Justine Kurland, Justin Lieberman, Robyn O'Neil, Grayson Perry, Paula Rego, and Michael St. John. 

* I later headed downtown to the Housing Works Bookstore Café (126 Crosby Street (one block east of Broadway between Houston and Prince) where ZZ Packer  introduced "New Stories from the South 2008," a collection of short stories that she is a guest editor for. Two authors in the anthology read and ZZ introduced them and signed copies of the book. Overall, a very interesting evening in NYC.
