“As the phrase goes, there are eight million stories to be told in our close-set metropolis. Tonight's stories — by Carver, the obscure Sigizmund Krzhizhanovsky, and the Carver-influenced Lasdun — offer just a few accounts of life in this city and the dissimilar inhabitants that make it teem. Yes, Parker Posey looks to be typically spirited and the lauded Sarah Jones would make a fascinating interpreter of Carver's spartan prose. But we're especially stoked for the witty and whip-smart David Rakoff.”
Jason Jude Chan, Flavorpill
Selected Shorts presents an evening of tales by Raymond Carver, Sigizmund Krzhizhanovsky (from Memories of the Future, nominated for Best Translated Book of 2010) and James Lasdun about the mysterious, curious or just plain insane people we live close to, with a special guest storyteller from
The Moth: James Braly (Life in a Marital Institution) . Other performers include David Rakoff, Jefferson Mays (I Am My Own Wife), and Thalia Follies star Leenya Rideout.
Note: Sarah Jones was originally scheduled for this event, but had to drop out.
