National Book Awards on Wall Street

After the stock market plunged more than 400 points yesterday, hundreds of writers and publishing folks gathered at Cipriani Wall Street–celebrating the National Book Awards just blocks from the New York Stock Exchange.

GalleyCat headed to Wall Street, interviewing Sex and the City author Candace Bushnell, NBA finalist Salvatore Scibona, NBA Executive Director Harold Augenbraum, and literary blogger Edward Champion about what the economic crisis means to them.
