We have an open mic and three readings today.
First, at Seattle Mystery Bookshop, Ann Littlewood reads from Night Kill, which is about a woman accused of murder by lion. There was never a Murder, She Wrote about that, I bet.
Up at Third Place Books, John Robison reads from Look Me in the Eye. That book is his memoir about growing up with Asperger’s. It’s also a memoir about growing up as Augusten Burroughs’ brother.
And at Elliott Bay Book Company, Emily Warn reads from Shadow Architect, her most recent book of poems. I think that Warn is a beautiful poet. Here is a link to a page that features her reading one of her poems aloud. You should go to this.
The full readings calendar, including the next week or so, is here.
Hey, McCain could have an excuse for his weird treatment of Obama at last night’s debate–late-onset Asperger’s syndrome.
Look into my mouth I lied…
and all my teeth, lost down years of neglected brushing…
fell out of my head with a honey pie….
sign the treat, grab your feet
with a spoon full of hystericals,
and a twenty first century
communal peace trick band…..
Do you think this is how Bernie and Elton did it?
Maybe that’s too personal…
I know that’s how the old time song and dance men USE to do it..
put in your melody and fork it over Elmer…
Jake Chambers is coming with a sandlewood in his fist and your all gonna cry….
Hile Gunslinger!!!!
Growing up as Augusten Burroughs’ brother sounds much more horrific than growing up with Asperger’s.
