Ian McEwan + Martin Amis

As the paperback of McEwan's domestic spy drama Sweet Tooth is released, the English novelist makes a single NYC appearance alongside his linguistically pyrotechnic peer (and current Brooklynite) Amis. Mutual friend Salman Rushdie will introduce both; McEwan is likely to read from Sweet Tooth, and Amis from last year's Lionel Asbo, before sitting for conversation.
