FICTION FANS
Writer and cultural critic Wayne Koestenbaum reads from his fiction at a reading series devoted to works in progress.

LOUSY LITERATURE
The “Bad Books Reading Series” gives the worst literary products just what they don’t deserve: a second life on stage. The next installment includes dramatizations from Rosie O’Donnell’s free-verse blog read by poet Edgar Oliver, an excerpt from a memoir by “Mrs. Herman Munster” read by writer Frank DeCaro, and a scene from Eve Ensler’s panned play “The Good Body” read by “celebrity psychic” Julia Wonder. Tonight, 9 p.m., Elmo Lounge, 156 Seventh Ave., between 19th and 20th streets, 212-337-8000, $5.
