ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½

that the Mercantile Library hosted to kick off the publication of The Emergence of Memory: Conversations with W. G. Sebald (Seven Stories), edited by Lynne Sharon Schwartz. First of all, the library is beautiful, and I canÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½™t believe I didnÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½™t even know about its existence prior to last night. It caters almost exclusively to fiction, its shelves stuffed with great fiction and literary journals. Check out their events and book groups if youÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½™re in NYC. One hundred bucks per year will get you membership and access to the space, well worth the price, I think.
