NYC: Charles Bock Benefit

Good Cause Of The Day Department: A whole passel of authors often appearing on this blog (Shteyngart, Ferris, Safran Foer, Wilsey among them) are throwing The World's Most Literary Rent Party Ever on Feb. 6 to benefit the Bock family (you'll remember debut BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN from a few years ago) as Mrs Bock battles leukemia.
