NYC - Jonathan Lethem and DJ Spooky Book Event (05.02.08)

Jonathan Lethem, author of You Don't Love Me Yet (Vintage)
Paul Miller, aka DJ Spooky, author of Sound Unbound (MIT Press)

Friday, May 2, 7 PM

Two consummate authors of music, language, and culture join forces! Jonathan Lethem (author of Motherless Brooklyn and The Fortress of Solitude) reads from his novel You Don't Love Me Yet, now out in paperback, which sends up the L.A. alternative band scene with a story of overnight fame based on (sort of) stolen lyrics. Conceptual artist, writer and musician Paul D. Miller, aka DJ Spooky That Subliminal Kid, presents his book Sound Unbound, a meditation by various artists (including Lethem) on the remix: how music, art, and literature have blurred the lines between what an artist can do and what a composer can create. Join us for an evening of great art and entertainment as well as serious discussion about cross-pollination between artists and genres.
