People of Brooklyn: If you’re looking for a quick literary break from your Thanksgiving family time this weekend, pop over to the Vox Pop Cafe on Sunday to hear Jason Rapczynski read from The Videographer, our 2008 3DN winner. A dose of Jason’s rough-and-tumble fast fiction is a sure way to shake yourself out of the holiday blahs. (Bonus: you’ll return from Vox Pop refilled will political fodder for those post-dinner family arguments.)
