Literary Death Match - November 10th!!!

Monday, October 24, 2011


Making November a month to remember, Literary Death Match is teaming with legendary illustrator Rick Meyerowitz to celebrate our 40th-ever NYC event with an unprecendented four-judge lineup beneath Drom's seductive lights.

The all-star reading lineup brings together New Yorker music critic Sasha Frere-Jones, LA-based Jillian Lauren (author of New York Times best-selling Some Girls and the all-new Pretty), the masterful Teddy Wayne (author of the novel Kapitoil — a 2011 PEN/Robert W. Bingham Prize runner-up), and Moth StorySlam champ Angela Lovell (author of Mouseschawitz – My Summer Job of Concentrated Fun).

They'll aim to impress the first-ever four-judge panel, rich with brainiacs including Meyerowitz (co-illustrator of the brilliant New Yorkistan New Yorker cover), "the sharpest tack in Brooklyn," Sean Kelly (former National Lampoon editor, and Heavy Metal magazine founder), the loquacious Danny Abelson (author of The Muppets Take Manhattan), and comedian Jena Friedman (writer for Late Show with David Letterman)!

Hosted by LDM creator Todd Zuniga.
