Spring News and Events
My story "A Shrine For Unbelievers" is out in Black Clock 18--actually a chapter from an early version of Paint It Black when it was a three-voice novel. This from Michael's (then 'Mitch') point of view. Black Clock 18 is "The Director's Cut" --they asked a number of authors to contribute “alternate versions, deleted passages and excised chapters—the resurrection of cherished artistic detours abandoned for the sake of the whole.”
For those in LA, there's a reading on Sunday April 6, 4 p.m. at Mandrake (21+) 2692 S. La Cienega.
Also I'll be doing two panels at the Los Angeles Festival of Books on April 12 and 13--L.A.'s explosion of literary minds on the campus of USC. Tickets are free, headspace is endless.
I'm moderating a panel on Saturday, 12 p.m. on "Degrees of Fictionality: Representing Truth Across Genres" where we'll be talking about 'truthiness' and veracity issues in memoir, biography and autobiography, history, creative nonfiction and historical fiction, fiction--with Dana Johnson, Mark Jonathan Harris and Leo Braudy.
On Sunday the 13th, at 3 p.m. I'll be participating in a panel on L.A. Stories, with my fellow novelists Alex Espinoza (The Five Acts of Diego Leon); Matthew Specktor (American Dream Machine); and Antoine Wilson (Panorama City). Our moderator will be the fabulous aussie LA transplant David Francis (Stray Dog Winter, Great Inland Sea).
And in May, there's a humorous Writers Round Talk Show at Beyond Baroque, that venerable Venice Beach literary venue--4 writers, each read for 7-9 minutes, then answer crazy questions. Should be fun. May 18, 5 p.m.
