Author Information

East magazine, launched by The East Hampton Star last year, celebrated its summer fiction contributors with a reading by them on St. Valentine's Day at Malia Mills in East Hampton Village.

Taking part were Patricia Marx, Iris Smyles, Frederic Tuten, each novelists whose shorter fiction has appeared in publications including The New Yorker, The Atlantic, and Bomb magazine.

As the East Hampton Ladies Village Improvement Society celebrated 120 years of service to the community, its popular fair on Saturday went off without a hitch.

When the doors opened at 10 a.m., people rushed to their favorite booths, kids for the games, rides, and the carousel, adults for the flowers or vintage clothing, perhaps the food or the furniture.
