One big event on the calendar this week: a reading by Andy Levy on Tuesday. Andy, who just happens to be the director of Butler's M.F.A. program, will be talking about his new book, A Brain Wider Than the Sky: A Migraine Diary. After his reading, Andy will lay hands on audience members, healing migraines and re-attaching missing limbs with a psionic blast from his glass eye.

That's not true. I shouldn't say that. What's wrong with me? Andy does not have a glass eye. The psionic blast comes out of his regular old human eye.

WHEN: Tue, June 2, 6:00pm – whenever

WHERE: Big Hat Books

CAVEAT: Extra limbs provided on a first-come, first-served basis. Supplies are limited.

EDIT: Oh, and here's a cut from the latest TIME magazine, which includes a great review of Levy's book:

“…it’s a challenge to which Levy rises. He collects headaches like rare butterflies, and he has a rare, possibly singular gift for fitting words to them,” writes Lev Grossman. “His fellow ‘migraineurs,’ as he (Levy) calls them, include Thomas Jefferson, Emily Dickinson, Lewis Carroll, Rudyard Kipling, Charles Darwin and Elvis Presley. Reading about their epic suffering, you wonder how they ever got anything done at all. But Levy raises the tantalizing possibility that their genius arose in part because of their migraines rather than in spite of them. He entertains the idea that migraines ‘make the clear moments that much clearer, the dark moments that much more unreachable.’”
