The latest exercise in Gchat-lit, Zachary German's novel Eat When You Feel Sad launches at WORD Brooklyn bookstore in Greenpoint. The novel's protagonist, Robert, is an average young man, getting mustard on his shirt, riding his bike, feeding his cat, and yes, using the Internet. Here, the mundane details of a certain kind of urban, hyper-literate living are wrought in a deadpan manner, mining our banal daily habits for new literary charms. Melville House has made its name purveying these slim novels of moments of wit in miniature. Tao Lin hosts. There will be wine.

He's joined by Princeton history professor D. Graham Burnett and Bard comparative literature professor Marina van Zuylen.

Catch some of Ginsberg's likely Dylanhoof-ish set tonight at Death by Audio.
