Ahhh… Downright bookishly good news for the year ahead! Wonders & Marvels is offering a chance to win one of five of The New York Review of Books 2010 calendars. The calendar features 13 portraits of Review writers by Dominique Nabokov whose portraits have appeared in the Review since 1980. This black and white collection includes photographs of

• John Updike

• Elizabeth Hardwick

• Gore Vidal

• Joan Didion

• Derek Walcott

• Joyce Carol Oates

The 11″ x 11″ wall format includes large date blocks for recording notes, appointments and otherwise memorable moments.

For a chance to win a copy, just comment in answer to this question: Which of the aforementioned writers (or perhaps one of your own choosing) would you most like to entertain as a dinner guest/have a cuppa joe — or a shot of bourbon — with? Please comment by midnight Eastern time, November 29, 2009. Sorry, but we can only ship to North America at this time. Winners will be announced soon after the draw. Good luck!
