ORHAM PAMUK WITH MERVE EMRE

Thu, Oct 27, 7:30 pm, from $20

Nobel Laureate Orhan Pamuk (My Name is Red) reads from and discusses his new novel Nights of Plague, a historical epic of murder and mystery that imagines a plague ravaging a fictional island of the Ottoman Empire. “The impulse to ennoble the most humble among us is perhaps the best reason to read Pamuk’s work,” wrote Anthony Marra. “In his novels, history is both the cause and consequence of dramatic conflict, often told from the points of view of those whose stories are rarely heard.”  NOTE: This 92NY event takes place at Baruch College’s Engelman Hall, 55 Lexington Ave.

PATHETIC LITERATURE: WITH EILEEN MYLES, SAIDIYA HARTMAN, ARIANNA REYES, KARLA VILLAVICENCIO, DANA WARD AND EDMUND BERRIGAN

Tue, Nov 15, 7:30 pm, from $20

An evening of readings by contributors to Pathetic Literature , the new anthology from Eileen Myles. “I’ve collected whoever’s in here for their dedication to a moment that bends … and you feel something,” writes Myles in their introduction. “Each of these writers has a discomfort or a restlessness that exceeds their category somehow. Work that acknowledges a boundary then passes it. There’s no institution, or subculture, where any of this all belongs. This gathering is not so much queer as adamantly, eloquently strange, and touching, as if language itself had to pause. Less an avant-garde than something really beside the point. Until it begins to steamroll.” NOTE: This 92NY event takes place at The Museum of Modern Art, 11 W. 53rd St.
