Road Trip
The Pirate’s Alley Faulkner Society (New Orleans) is hosting a Meet the Authors Event this Friday night, March 13, in conjunction with the Louisiana State Museum. The evening will feature readings by Tim Gautreaux(GO-trow) and Andre Codrescu. Gautreaux will be reading from his new novel The Missing and Codrescu will be reading from a bound sheaf of papers called The Posthuman Dada Guide: Tzara and Lenin Play Chess. The latter is described as:
…a Dadaist chop suey showcasing the astonishing intellectual range of English professor and NPR commentator Codrescu, is arranged alphabetically and topically, which permits one to dip in or to read it all. The occasionally outrageous encyclopedic juxtapositions of entries give a firsthand experience similar to the effect of Dada cutups and collages.
Okayyyyy… I’d actually like to check out Gautreaux. I’ve always meant to read his books, and people routinely assume that I have. I’ve meant to, really. Added bonus: the event is being helf at The Cabildo, which is where the Lousiana Purchase was signed. If you’re within driving distance, check it out.
