Dept. of Literary Arts & Events @ Maxims
This April 30 event was billed as a “What’s New & What’s Next” discussion at Maxim’s in the Gold Coast. Presented by the new Department of Literary Arts & Events (within the Department of Cultural Affairs), it featured speakers Garrett Kiely (University of Chicago Press), Rick Kogan (Chicago Tribune), and Donna Seaman (Booklist & Chicago Public Radio). Pics aren’t superb–I was trying not to interrupt the lecture with a blinding flash!–but this gives you a good idea about the crowd.
