Baby's First Book Event
A certain book that everyone has been talking about hit the shelves on Monday night at midnight. But never mind that. That evening we also got a visit from a certain youngster who couldn't sleep (until he came out for a walk).
Meet Henry, the newborn son of our colleague Rachel and her husband Greg. Congrats, Rachel and Greg!!

In June we welcomed Stephen Squibb, co-editor of City by City: Dispatches from the American Metropolis, for a discussion of City by City, published by FSG and n+1. Stephen was joined by contributors Greg Afinogenov, Dan Albert, and Annie Wyman.
