Eat, Drink & Be Literary is a unique series for sophisticated writers, readers, and eaters, that brings major contemporary authors to BAMcafé for intimate dinners, entertaining readings, and engaging discussions.
The evening features writer Ann Beattie. Beattie has been included in four O. Henry Award collections and in John Updike's Best American Short Stories of the Century. In 2000, she received the PEN/Malamud Award for achievement in the short story form. In 2005, she received the Rea Award for the Short Story. In a review of her most recent novella, Walks with Men, Jay McInerney described Beattie as "a national treasure" (The New York Times Book Review). She and her husband, Lincoln Perry, live in Key West, Florida and Charlottesville, Virginia, where she is Edgar Allan Poe Professor of Literature and Creative Writing at the University of Virginia.
