To Do: Keillor and Collins, Lolita, or Twins Smut
READ MORE: Culture, metro, nightlife, to-do

• A Prairie Home Companion’s Garrison Keillor and former poet laureate Billy
Collins head on over to the 92nd Street Y tonight to read from their
respective anthologies. In extrodinarily soothing, monotone voices, no
doubt. [flavorpill]
• Not that you read it in college when you should have, but Vladimir
Nabakov’s Lolita celebrates its 50th anniversary. Go hear a panel of
distinguished scholars pay homage to the novel that provided a convenient
catchprase to describe our country’s current surplus of teenage skanks. [Paper]
• Marcy Dermansky reads from her debut novel Twins as part of Galapagos Art
Space’s SMUT series, which includes, says the New York Times, “Art that
should carry a Parental Advisory label.” One might say the same thing about
New York Times. [Upcoming]
