Memoirist's Debut Relocated; She Blames Cult in Queens
"This is a very honest mistake," East West Living CEO Jan Matthews told us when we called this afternoon to ask about Tamm's blog post. She explained that the event was originally booked by an outside consultant who didn't fully understand the store's spiritual focus: "Our bookstore isn't interested in cults," she said. "There isn't a single book in the store about cults. We just have no interest in that genre." Matthews added that the store informed Crown, Tamm's publisher, as soon as they recognized a mistake had been made, categorically rejecting Tamm's theory about the cancellation. "We don't even know who the Sri Chinmoy people are," she said. "We wish [Tamm] well, but she didn't fit in our bookstore." This story does have a happy ending: The Mercantile Library has generously made its eighth-floor studio space available to Tamm to hold her reading Friday night, at the same time (7 p.m.) that East West Books would've held it, just 33 blocks further uptown. (We still encourage you to hear her out—and this way you could also drop in on the second-floor reading featuring contributors to the literary magazine Noon, including Rebecca Curtis, Clancy Martin, and Christine Schutt.)
