‘Prague’ Author, Wednesday Night
Little reminder: tomorrow (i.e., Wednesday) night at 7:30pm all fellow former Budapest expats are encouraged to drop by the 81st & Broadway branch of Barnes & Noble to hear Arthur Philips reading excerpts from his novel Prague, which is set in Budapest in the early ’90s.
Turns out we’re going to have to refrain from pelting him with vegetables and epithets. We have identified a second degree of separation from him that establishes his legitimacy. Ernest Beck (who promises his blog is coming soon) writes:
Before we start heckling: some late breaking news–
seems this guy is indeed legit. This by way of Doug
Rediker–you might remember him–who called today
(he’s in NY) to say he was good buddies with Phillips
in BP, they hung out together, etc. Seems he went to
BP at first to work for Marc Holzman, then just stayed
around, and did stuff like playing sax at the Piaf.
Btw, Peter Magyar (the lawyer) married Phillips’
sister.Still think we should all turn out en masse. And Doug
will probably be there, too.
