Description and Reader Names: J.C. Hallman will read from his recently published book B & Me: A True Story of Literary Arousal. Nearly twenty-five years ago, Nicholson Baker published U and I, the fretful and handwringing—but also groundbreaking—tale of his literary relationship with John Updike. U and I inspired a whole sub-genre of engaging, entertaining writing about reading, but what no story of this type has ever done is tell its tale from the moment of conception, that moment when you realize that there is writer out there in the world that you must read—so you read them. B & Me is that story, the story of Hallman discovering and reading Nicholson Baker, and discovering himself in the process.
