Eat, Drink & Be Literary @ BAM

For literary lovers, a dream come true, meet your favourite author, dine & wine @ Bam series proudly presents:

Michael Cunningham

BAMcaféThu, Feb 15 at 6:30pm

"Cunningham cares most passionately (and most knowingly) about the largest and most hopeful human experiences: compassion, community, art, connection—the infinite manifestations of love. It is his unique moral vision that successfully hinges three distinct narrative panels into a triptych of unified beauty. It's what raises his individual stories out of their genres into the glorious realm of art."—LOS ANGELES TIMES ON SPECIMEN DAYS

"There are certain principles by which fiction seems to work, and yet anything that's put forward as a principle for writing fiction has been dramatically contradicted by at least one great work of art. So we find ourselves in the funny position of having rules as vague guidelines and yet nothing, not one thing, that we can count on."—MICHAEL CUNNINGHAM

Michael Cunningham is the author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning The Hours. His novels A Home at the End of the World, Flesh and Blood, and Specimen Days have also received high acclaim. He lives in New York City. Interviewed by Brigid Hughes. Dinner music provided by saxophonist and composer Loren Stillman with Nate Radley on guitar. Limited availability remains.

My dream bookcase - Hayalimdeki kitaplik

Off topic, but here we go:

.

Here is a secret to one of my decoration resources, the website created by lovely Grace:

http://designsponge.blogspot.com I click her website several times a day to get inspirations, ideas and at the end of the day, her postings provides me so many resources that makes me grateful but also feeds my jealousy. (see above picture)

.

This bookcase she inherited from her aunt is my favourite and I cannot seem to find one similar to this. She was kind enough to let me use the photo in here. (below is our correspondence to prove)

.

So here is my dilemma, if you know any store or online site that sells a similar bookcase, would you be kind enough to let me know. I will be forever in your debt.

.

In the mean time please check her lovely website and be inspired!

Hi Designsponge,

I am a big fan of your website and I must admit I am a little bit jealous.. :0-) Eversince you posted the red bookcase you inherited from your aunt, my jealousy started growing, as I was looking for a bookcase like that for months. Since I do not have a single family member in US, inheritance of such piece is out of the question, Ebay does not seem to have it either. Any clue where else I should look for?

Also I have my photoblog (http://www.newyorkmuhtari.blogspot.com/). Do you mind if I use this pic (giving full credit to you and to your website) to show it to my readers as my "dream bookcase" maybe one of the reader will tell me a source?

----------------------------------------------

hi :)

oh of course you can use the photo, no worries. thanks for asking though.

hmm..it's sort of a hollywood regency style so perhaps if you search ebay for regency style bookcases? that might be the best bet. i'll ask my aunt if she knows any details on the piece that might help... grace

Note from New York Muhtari:

As I was reading the Metro this morning, I saw the interview with this author and was fascinated by the story (Entertainment section , page 12) and I felt compelled to share this event with you. Again I will not be able to make it due to my class schedule, but if you have the time, I would urge you to go and hear him, reading parts from his book.

Who knows, if we are lucky, one of the reader of this blog might even share their experience with us, like Social Butterfly did recently. :-))
