Yesterday, Oblong Books & Music hosted actor Alan Cumming in conversation with WAMC's Joe Donahue about Cumming's new collection of autobiographical essays, You Gotta Get Bigger Dreams (Rizzoli). The event, at Bard College in Annandale-on-Hudson, N.Y., was a co-presentation with the Richard B. Fisher Center for Performing Arts. Nearly 500 fans were in attendance. A portion of the event was recorded for later broadcast on NPR's The Book Show. Pictured: (l.-r.)
