UPCOMING BOOK EVENT WITH A STATEN ISLAND SLANT

Staten Islanders aren't used to media attention, particularly positive media attention, that doesn't start and end with The Staten Island Advance.So if you're a Staten Islander, I think you'll be interested to read the generally positive (meaning--surprise!--not negative) coverage Staten Island's getting on Brian Berger's blog, Who Walk in Brooklyn ( http://www.whowalkinbrooklyn.com ).

Berger will be appearing this Saturday night at the ETG Book Café--along with Staten Island essayist Steve Maluk and Village Voice food writer Robert Sietsema--in connection with Berger's just-published book, co-edited with Marshall Berman, New York Calling: From Blackout to Bloomberg (University of Chicago Press). As one reviewer observed about the book, "For once, all five boroughs are represented," an assessment that has special meaning here in The Forgotten Borough.

Berger, Maluk and Sietsema promise an evening of words, photos and discussion, all of it focused on the place we call home.

Thanks for your comment, Brooklyn Escort.

This event was just one of many that occur day in, week, month and year out, at the Every Thing Goes Book Cafe, run with tireless commitment by Katie McCarthy and Steve Daughs Jones. Performance is one of many ways Katie and Steve are building community in our community. They live their credo, "Imagine the world you want."
