James Frey, who has been the subject of one-too-many Gawker posts as of late, is reading tonight at the Astor Place Barnes and Noble at 7:30 PM. Gawker on James Frey:

Also, David Amsden is reading at Housing Works with Marc Nesbitt. I recently referred to David's book as part of a hipster literary movement that had "kicked into disaffected ironic overdrive." I interviewed David recently for Salon after he emailed, assuring me that his book, Important Things That Don't Matter, was neither "disaffected" nor "ironic." So I read the book. And I was wrong. And it's really goodfrighteningly well-written. So if you're not going to mock James Frey with the masses, drop by Housing Works and hear David Amsden. 7PM.
