Gary Shteyngart’s Snowed In In Philly, Tweets About It

As I reported earlier today, comic novelist Gary Shteyngart was supposed to read from his new memoir, Little Failure, tonight at the Free Library, but in what is a surprise to no one, the event has been cancelled. He notified Philly via these characteristically adorable tweets:

In sad news my reading at the Philly Library has been cancelled because of snow. At least my hotel has decent chairs. pic.twitter.com/8Q3LJodr2z

Will he reschedule, you ask? Not sure. But he hopes so:

Dear Concerned Philadelphians, I hope the Library will reschedule my reading. Why? Because I love you.
