We're getting ahead of next week's July 4 holiday with an early BSR Book Week treat for subscribers. Usually, our monthly BSR in the Wild mailer features shows and events that our staff is heading to, but we're shaking things up!
On Friday, our July BSR in the Wild mailer will feature the first-ever list of books by our writers, plus a few special friends. Have you ever wondered what our excellent stable of critics and essayists are doing when they're not attending Philly theaters, museums, galleries, or concert halls? Get ready to know our writers in a whole new way.
They've written memoirs, novels and short stories, essays and humor, science fiction, poetry, nonfiction, and more. I work regularly with many of these authors, and even I was surprised by the breadth of their work. I'm excited to pick up many volumes on this list, and I hope you will be, too!
Til then, enjoy our usual review coverage, including a new production of Tick, Tick... Boom! at Bucks County Playhouse, and the latest from Anne Marie Mulgrew & Dancers Company, and Fabric Workshop and Museum. See you on the other side of Independence Day!
