Book Week is right around the corner here at BSR, and it's exciting as we prepare to share an abundance of book reviews and a compelling panel on Wednesday. Will you be there? We'd love to see you there, of course! Additionally, anyone who signs up is entered to win a signed copy of Liz Moore's bestselling novel Long Bright River. And if you want to get a head start on getting to know some of our panelists, we're previewing Sara Nović's Mother Tongue, and reviewing Nathaniel Popkin's Partly Strong, Partly Broken and Emma Copley Eisenberg’s new short-story collection Fat Swim. Check them out!
This weekend sees a production of Langston Hughes' The Black Clown, a monologue from his 1931 book The Negro Mother and Other Dramatic Recitations. We preview the production and also got to have a talk with co-creator Davóne Tines on the podcast.
Also, be sure to check out our profile of dancer and choreographer Charles Askegard ahead of the run of Live, Life, Love. This week's roundup and more classical music are served up fresh, too.
See you around, Philly!
