Mark Oliver Everett, Things the Grandchildren Should Know
Tuesday Oct 28, 2008 (7pm)
If it's not obvious from song titles like "Novocaine for the Soul" and "Cancer for the Cure," Eels mastermind Mark Oliver Everett (better known as E) didn't get a lot of hugs growing up. But his dad had a pretty good reason for being distant: Hugh Everett III was a misunderstood genius who formulated the long-maligned, but now increasingly accepted, "many-worlds interpretation" of quantum physics. Already a bestseller in the UK, E's recent memoir, Things the Grandchildren Should Know, wryly reflects on the man he knew primarily from journals and breakfast-table tirades while simultaneously exploring the author's own hilarious and unbelievably tragic travails as a '90s rock star.
