On Monday, July 28, UnBeige blogger Steve Delahoyde is coming to town for an evening of readings from Field-Tested Books, an online (and print) essay collection compiled by the Coudal Partners design firm (which is where he has his day job). I'm one of the many contributors, and if plans hold firm, I'll be joining Steve at The Delancey that evening along with Ben Greenman, Randy Cohen, and a slew of other authors.

Coudal's also putting together a similar event on its Chicago home turf on July 22. That one features Jonathan Messinger, Claire Zulkey, Kevin Guilfoyle, and Wendy McClure, among others.
