Rain Taxi, the local literary publication you should be reading more, is celebrating its 10-year anniversary this month. The quarterly non-profit is known for supporting diverse writers and hosting the Twin Cities Book Festival which has brought authors such as Paul Auster, Harvey Pekar, and Robert Creeley to town. To raise money, a charity auction through eBay is selling cool signed first editions, advance copies, and other rarities. Authors in the auction include John Ashbery, Paul Auster, Neil Gaiman, Jonathan Franzen, Daivd Foster Wallace, and many others. An anniversary party is planned for the Rogue Buddha Gallery on Dec. 10.

Tidbit from this Strib story that I didn’t know: Rain Taxi takes its name from Salvador Dali’s “Rainy Taxi” and Tom Waits’ “Rain Dogs.” For some reason, I always thought it was some from Far Eastern literature.
