    Literary Cruising

    From the Cunard website:


    In October, High-Brow Meets Humor Aboard Queen Mary 2’s Transatlantic Crossing,
    A Most Civilized Literary Adventure


    Three of the iconic New Yorker magazine’s authors set to inspire and engage Cunard guests Valencia, CA - March 1, 2007 - Like Cunard Line’s unique place in the history of ocean travel, The New Yorker has occupied a distinguished place in magazine publishing since its first issue in 1925. On October 7, 2007, these two iconic names come together in A Most Civilized Literary Adventure Transatlantic crossing aboard Cunard’s flagship Queen Mary 2. A trio of award-winning New Yorker authors, whose work runs the gamut from thought-provoking essays to side-splitting humor, will be introduced aboard the ship’s New York to Southampton crossing.

    The authors are:

    Adam Gopnik – On The New Yorker staff since 1986. . . Onboard, he will tackle contemporary culture in a dynamic multi-media presentation.

    Anthony Lane – A New Yorker film critic since 1993, Lane is the author of “Nobody’s Perfect” . . . Lane will screen a film and lead an in-depth film discussion.

    Andy Borowitz – Humorist, author, Hollywood producer and personality . . . he will do stand-up comedy.

    Each author will participate in one group conversation and give two presentations exclusively created and centered on his primary focus. In addition, each will give one reading and host a book signing.

    That is awesome, I would love that!!
    Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me! I want people to know why I look this way. I've traveled a long way, and some of the roads weren't paved.

    Maybe the professors would do belly flops and have a hairiest beard contest.
