Top: A.M. Homes looks upon the crowd gathered in the Bubble Lounge to celebrate the publication of This Book Will Save Your Life and finds them pleasing; the photographers from BlackBook and Gawker’s Team Party Crash gear up for a night’s work.
Middle: Melissa Kirsch takes a break from the final revisions on The Girl’s Guide to Absolutely Everything, coming this August ; Alex Mar of Rolling Stone and Rebecca Godfrey (Under the Bridge) enjoying the party, where refreshments included champagne (a Bubble House staple, natch) and donuts (which I’m told hold great narrative significance to the novel).
Bottom: A Public Space editor Brigid Hughes chats with contributing editor Fiona Maazel.
And though I couldn’t fit this snapshot of New Yorker fiction editor Deborah Treisman listening to Calvin Trillin into the main spread, I liked it so much I’m including it anyway.
