Tom Gjelten, Tim Lewis, and Pamela J. Martin: The Authors City List Missed

Every week, City Paper's City List does its best to tell readers about all the authors destined to come through town pushing their work (as well they should, the publishing industry needs more than prayer). This week, City List found only one reading, and chalked up the dearth to the holiday season--boy were we wrong. How do we know? Our very own Mark Athitakis has a really fine literary blog (check out his entertaining comment scuffle with Rick Moody), and on that blog, he has a page for local DC readings. Because Athitakis is such a great guy, he probably won't complain that City List is piggy-backing on his events gathering skills just this once. Without further ado, the author listings City List missed:
