How about get yourself bent on absinthe? The Paper Street Reading Group is heading out to Lovejoy's on Monday, January 19 to celebrate Edgar Allan Poe's 200th birthday, and partake in the newly re-legalized minty goodness of the green fairy herself. Seems like only yesterday little Edgar was bouncing on his momma's knee...or drunk and dying near a Baltimore gutter. Ah, the good die young! But Poe's spirit lives on, and he continues to be the subject of biographies, literary criticism, documentaries, at least two planned films in the near future, and comic books. In fact, in addition to celebrating the master's birthday, the group will be discussing the DC Vertigo graphic novel, In the Shadow of Edgar Allan Poe by Jonathan Scott Fuqua, and illustrated by Steve Park. The night is sure to be a hallucinatory good time fit for the grotesque and arabesque.
