Beverly Hills Braces for Hurricane Saunders

Posted by Maximum Fun on 28th August 2007

I’m really honored to be interviewing the one and only Mr. George Saunders, certified genius, live on stage at the Beverly Hills Public Library Auditorium in, you guessed it, Beverly Hills. It’s an event to promote his new book, which is called “The Braindead Megaphone,” and said book is really really great. The event is Saturday, September 29th at 3PM.

Ms. Miranda July will be reading one of the stories from the book, and I will be engaging the great Mr. Saunders in a delightful conversation, which will most likely focus on minerals, pursuant to his education at the Colorado College of Mines. We may also touch on the subject of satire.

Tickets are only $20, and include a copy of the book. You can buy them here.

I’m so happy that Book Soup (who organized the event) and Riverhead, George’s publisher, thought of me for this. I’m working on a super-secret Saunders Project for the show, too, which will be really neat I promise. And I’m gonna try and tape this interview, too.

WHAT’S THAT? YOU’RE NOT HITCHED UP TO THE SAUNDERS TRAIN ALREADY?

Here is the show you should listen to to change all of that.
