Reading a tale of high seas adventure 7/8
This weekend I will be reading a piece of historical fiction that I wrote — out loud, in public, and (hopefully) to the amusement of all. It’s for an event put on by the lovely Charlie Anders called “Writers in Drag.” The idea is for people to read things they’ve written that fall outside their usual genre (in my case: narrative nonfiction and journalism). What could be less nonfiction-ish than a swashbuckling tale of swordfighting and sex set on a merchant ship riding the high seas of an alternative early eighteenth century? You know that you want to know more. Oh yes.
So come to the Makeout Room at 7 PM this Saturday, 7/8, for Writers in Drag. It’s $3-5 at the door, and all proceeds benefit other magazine!
I will be joined by five other amazing writers, all reading stuff outside their normal repetoire. They are: John Marr, Alana Devich, Mir Tamim Ansary, Carol Queen, and Jennifer Traig.
