Celebrate that indie spirit

Brokelyn highlights some of the events at Brooklyn bookstores participating in the first-ever Independent Bookstore Week, now through Nov. 21.

First up tonight, it's a reading of the last work of V. Nabokov, The Original of Laura, as well as Sarah Palin's much-anticipated memoir, at Unnameable Books (600 Vanderbilt Ave.) in Prospect Heights. You're encouraged to dress up as characters from both (though that sounds easier said than done).

For a full list of events city-wide happening this week as part of the festival, head here. Participating stores here (also viewable via a handy map, so you can see what's near you).
