The New York Times ArtsBeat blog interviewed Karolina Waclawiak about “her resemblance to Anya [the protagonist of her novel], her favorite writers on L.A., how she would cast a movie version of her novel and more.”

Tonight, Waclawiak celebrates the release of her debut novel, HOW TO GET INTO THE TWIN PALMS, at Word Bookstore. The event is being sponsored by the amazing folks at The Believer (where the author also serves as Deputy Editor), and will feature Waclawiak in conversation with interviews editor Ross Simonini.

Here are some of the other latest happenings for Waclawiak and HOW TO GET INTO THE TWIN PALMS from the past couple days:

• A wonderful profile of the author by Michele Filgate at Capital New York.
• Interview with Polish International Radio.
• Interview with the one and only ‘Bat Segundo Show’ podcast.
