Dear Tumblr Readers,
As our big party approaches, I have begun to worry. I’ve commandeered the n+1 office, but it’s not an official n+1 party, and I feel we should be polite to the natives. So, with that in mind, a quick guide to some of the people you might see.
You will likely see Scott Hamrah, just back from his trip to Cannes. His film columns are here, here, and here.
You might see Meghan Falvey, scourge to so-called post-feminists.
You will likely see Christian Lorentzen, scourge to hipster Park Slope filmmakers.
Will you see Elif Batuman? Not likely. I’m not a magician, you know. Still, it wouldn’t kill you to know some things about Franco Moretti.
Wesley Yang will be there. Read the first part of his Virginia Tech essay here.
Carla Blumenkranz will be there. Read her definitive history of Gawker here.
Chad Harbach, of course. On global warming; on David Foster Wallace; and on the Red Sox circa 2004.
Will HFM be there? Beats me.
Other people will be there too, but this should get you through the night.
