Leslie Jamison and Heidi Julavits are reading at Experiments and Disorders on Tuesday at Dixon Place at 7:30 pm and it's FREE. My students love Jamison's Grand Unified Theory of Female Pain which I teach in Contemporary Feminisms. And I loved the Empathy Exams, the one about the things coming out of your skin! And the one about the crazy marathon! And the one about being a medical actor! (I know someone who directs those scenes and I've always wanted to do it. Maybe I will, now that I have more experience, a hem!) I read Julavits' The Folded Clock last summer and was lost in its exploration of time and place. And my essay was included in Women in Clothes which Heidi co-edited. So please come join us on Tuesday night at 7:30 at 161 Chrystie Street NYC to hear two amazing writers. Previous writers in this series include Candace Williams, Celine Song, Eileen Myles, Lynn Tillman, Stacey Karen Robinson, Phillip Lopate, Alexander Chee, Pamela Sneed, Margo Jefferson, Laurie Stone, Andrea Klein and more. This is something I love doing- curating and sharing others people's work. I'm an enthusiast. #dixonplace #writing #experimentsanddisorders #lesliejamison #heidijulavits
