Big Sur and the Oranges of Above An Abyss

Ever been to a bad reading? You know the kind: a bunch of empty chairs, a couple other writers, all the panache of an AA meeting in jail.

I have perpetrated countless bad readings. It's an embarrassing experience for everyone involved. Like a really bad date with four or five other people.

The Above An Abyss reading on March 23 at the Henry Miller Memorial Library in Big Sur won't be like that.

Why? For one, it's at the Henry Miller Memorial Library in Big Sur. The HMML is less a bookstore or library and more a shrine to the spirit of the great writer. It is one of the most beautiful and hip venues on the West Coast. It's a must-visit for any literary lover. Or any lover of literature.

Secondly, my band The Suborbitals will not only play a couple sets of music, they will also accompany the brief readings from the two novellas.

And third, I will be performing an interpretive pagan dance dedicated to the spring equinox.

Just kidding. I couldn't think of a third. The point is, not boring. See you there!
