For all of you bibliophiles out there, this Sunday Brooklyn Borough Hall is going to be the site of a huge, free event that can only be probably described as a bookanalia. Attending writers include NYU Local favorite Tao Lin, leading postmodernist Paul Auster, Shock Doctrinaire Naomi Klein, and New Yorker writer James Surowiecki.

At this point, your enthusiasm is probably less than palpable, but for the book nerds among you this looks like a must-see. Here’s more info at the official site, and some suggested events courtesy of Decider*

Bonus NYU connection: If you do end up going, my creative writing professor from last year, Fiona Maazel, is on an interesting-looking panel at 3 PM called “Doubt, Faith & Monsters.” So maybe go say hi, and buy a book or four.

*One of these events is tribute to John Updike and David Foster Wallace, hence the David Foster Wallace picture at the top of the post, and also the footnote that probably didn’t need to be a footnote.
