Leviathan Bookstore, St. Louis, Mo., along with Clements, a nearby speakeasy located inside a historic locksmith shop, hosted a tribute to the Edmund Fitzgerald on the 51st anniversary of its sinking, featuring dramatic readings, specialty cocktails, a rousing singalong, and a selection of books for sale about shipwrecks. Leviathan owner James Crossley (at right, with author John Joseph Ryan) reported that "the centerpiece title, the night's bestseller by far, was The Gales of November by John U. Bacon from Liveright Publishing, newly out in paperback."
