Books Reading Tonight
Posted by Paul Constant on Fri, Nov 14, 2008 at 10:18 AM
There's a lot going on tonight.
Up north at Third Place Books, Henry Owing. who used to make a zine called Chunklet, reads from his new book The Rock Bible: Unholy Scripture for Fans & Bands. In the University District, Madeline DeFrees, who has spent 38 years living as a nun, reads from her latest collections of poems, Blue Dusk and Spectral Waves. Maybe we could talk these two authors into doing a double-reading.
At Cafe Babel in Fremont, Jeffrey Overstreet reads from Cyndere’s Midnight, which sounds like Beauty and the Beast on steroids. Let's hope it's the sexy TV Beauty and the Beast and not the much-less-sexy Disney movie Beauty and the Beast.
At Elliott Bay Book Company, Amitav Ghosh reads from Sea of Poppies. Ghosh writes family epics and has also written a very good sci-fi book called The Calcutta Chromosome. This is the reading of the night.
And at the Hugo House, it's time for the Poet Populist reading, wherein the final four contestants for Seattle's online Poet Populist competition (and the questionable title of "Voice of the People") read.
The full readings calendar, including the next week or so, is here.
