BOOKS Julian Schnabel Reed reads (718) 834-9350 The Brooklyn Papers’ essential guide to the Borough of Kings December 8, 2003 Lou Reed and a few of his friends will present “Ravishing Poe,” a sold out night of readings from his recently released book “The Raven” (Grove/At- lantic, 2003) at St. Ann’s Warehouse (38 Water St. between Dock and Main streets in DUMBO) on Dec. 8 at 8 pm. Among the readers joining Reed, will be Laurie Anderson, Richard Belzer, Fisher Stevens and Chloe Webb. A Q&A and book signing follow the reading. Reed’s book includes black-and-white pho- Bollywood or bust tographs (see above) by artist Julian Schnabel. Poe’s works have been inspiring — or perhaps haunting — Reed and his artistic endeavors for years.
