McNally Jackson to Launch Book Festival
The New York-based bookstore McNally Jackson will host its first literary festival from May 7 into June, focusing on archives, historiography, and legacies.
The festival includes panels between Depths of Wikipedia’s Annie Rauwerda, artist Michael Mandiberg, and journalist Stephen Harrison; a conversation on criticism between the New York Times critic Parul Sehgal and New York’s Andrea Long Chu; and a discussion about literary friendship with Lincoln Michel, Helen Phillips, Chloe Cooper Jones, and Kevin Nguyen. It will also feature a print zine and a phone-free closing party.
This spring festival is the first in a twice-yearly program featuring events primarily held at McNally Jackson’s Seaport location. The second festival, slated for later this year, will revolve around New York City history and civic life.
