The New York Society Library holds its third annual salon, featuring food and wine, conversation, visual presentations, and readings. Editors of Triple Canopy and the Paris Review will discuss literature old and new, on the page and on the Web. Triple Canopy will present its first literary—or not not literary—issue, Counterfactuals. Editors, along with contributor Tan Lin, will read and play audio and video selections from the issue. They will speak to Triple Canopy’s effort to cultivate new forms of literary work online and to undermine generic conventions. They will also present Triple Canopy’s first book, Invalid Format: An Anthology of Triple Canopy, which explores how works produced for the screen might fully inhabit the page.  

How to Print an Internet Magazine
An Evening with Triple Canopy and Project Projects 
McNally Jackson Books, 52 Prince Street, New York, NY
Thursday, January 19, 7–8:30 p.m.
Free and open to the public

How to print an Internet magazine is the problem addressed by Invalid Format. Triple Canopy editors Alexander Provan and Peter J. Russo will read selections from Invalid Format and discuss its genesis and form with the book’s designer, Prem Krishnamurthy, and Adam Michaels of the firm Project Projects. Krishnamurthy and Michaels will, in turn, discuss how Project Projects makes productive use of the tension between new and old print technologies and design conventions in its work, which ranges from exhibitions to pamphlets, websites to catalogues.
