Posted by: Dan at May 15, 2007 09:48 AMKarol, the ad for the New Criterion Panel omitted the address for the event.
I called the number listed, and here's the venue:
Center for the Humanity, CUNY, 365 5th Ave, across from Empire State building. Ask teh guard to be directed to the appropriate room.
I'll be there - Karol, are you coming?
Posted by: Tatyana at May 15, 2007 10:33 AMThat New Criterion anthology is great.
I didn't see anything by Cynthia Ozick though, even though it mentions her as one of the contributors.
Posted by: Gerard at May 15, 2007 12:53 PMWhoops, sorry about omitting the address. I will definitely be there.

Posted by: Tatyana at May 15, 2007 02:06 PMThese are the sort of events that make me wish I lived in New York. Or at least had a private jet that could whisk me there for an evening.
