The Lady Aye (the “Fakir of Nonfiction”) and Coney Island USA are teaming up to present a day-long event celebrating the written word, particularly those dedicated to sideshow, burlesque, oddities, and New York City. (All things that we love!)
On Saturday, May 10, guests of all ages are invited to come out during the daytime to browse vendors at a this brand new book bazaar and enjoy expert panels on "writing the odd." The evening portion of the program is open to attendees aged 18 and up, who can take in an all-star variety show full of bookish beauties. Some of the notable scribes involved are John Strausbaugh, Colin Dickey, Jo Weldon, Laurie Gwen Shapiro, Laetitia Barbieri, Dawn Raffel and Sadie Dingfelder.
