The Originals Series
Farrar, Straus & Giroux will team up with GQ for something called "The Originals Series." The series, as stated in a blog post from FSG's digital marketing manager, will consist of "authors and musicians in conversation, hosted by David Rees (Get Your War On, Artisanal Pencil Sharpening, Kale City), in an intimate West Village loft space. We’ll film each event and edit it down to a compelling short film for broadcast online." You can RSVP to the November 8th kick-off, which features John Jeremiah Sullivan and the Brooklyn-based band Caveman, here.
