Tonight from 7-11pm we're joining forces with Canteen Magazine to host a panel discussion and party to celebrate their new issue, which pairs 16 amazing authors with 16 premier photographers. The event is part of the Brooklyn Book Festival, which culminates Sunday at Brooklyn Borough Hall with a bunch of great events.

We've already featured two of the panelists who'll be partying with us tonight, Christopher Kouloris and Tao Lin, and here's a third: Fiona Maazel.

She's the author of 2008's Last Last Chance, which, in addition to being receiving praise from the likes of the New York Times, Slate, the Boston Globe and Time Out New York, also earned her the Bard Fiction Prize and a place on the National Book Foundation's "5 Under 35" list. According to the Times: "Last Last Chance' isn’t your average novel, thanks in no small part to Maazel’s funny, lacerating prose. The book fits squarely in the tradition of novels about the wealthy and dissolute, but ultimately it's less John Cheever than Denis Johnson — the Denis Johnson of "Jesus' Son," with its drug-addled narrators — though Maazel’s voice is more caffeinated, more fueled by attitude."

We caught up with Maazel to talk about her second novel, Woke Up Lonely, which she just recently finished.
