PRIVATE READING SERIES

I’ll be reading at BING ART BOOKS on Saturday night, at the inaugural event for Michael Workman’s PRIVATE READING SERIES in its new space. 

The series is dedicated to trying out work-in-progress, so I’ll likely be reading some “test-flight” work from my novel, alongside some of my Chicago favorites, Dawn Tefft and Heather McShane and Mayra Alejandra Rodriguez. See you there! 

More about the reading & space here:

I was herding my thoughts through the rooms you were sleeping between the trees

My date studies geography, but not boring geography, hot geography. The kind where they figure the ratio of Jesus to horses. There’s always a ratio. Jesus to horses. High schools to Speedways. Liquor to lottery.

This is where my eyes turn red and my legs unfold like noir, causing a man to materialize in a bookshop, causing him to fall in lock-step with a canned plot that sells itself as mystery. In the end, we both know he’ll lose. I’ll die. Someone will wind up with the cat and the jewels. Something arbitrary as this. I’ll start crying in the mornings.

We choose our own scribes, historians, tattooists, artists, alchemists. We reject your singleness of vision, where you call law and you call order. Through magic and cell phones, we brought ourselves into being, and we are breathless with it.
