Peeps who will be in Iceland for the NonfictionNow 2017, I will be part of a panel called “Third Narratives” that meets on Saturday June 3 at 5:15. It is devoted to genre-fucking narratives and hybrid mashups that combine fiction, memoir, journalism, criticism, photography, etc. What if you are not that interested in conventional plots? What if you don’t care about getting from point A to point B? What if instead of beginnings, endings, and resolutions, you are interested in consciousness as it meanders along? What if speculation can substitute for plot, still building complexity and dramatic tension? Brilliant and witty writers Margo Jefferson, Amy Butcher, Erika Meitner, and Elizabeth Kendall will consider where freedom lies amid lists, broken narratives, and collage forms, invoking WG Sebald, Lydia Davis, Edouard Leve, Chris Kraus, and many others.

Writing the Seductive First Sentence
March 23 @ 10:30 am – 1:00 pm

Instructor: Laurie Stone
Cost: $45 Members | $50 Non-members
Thursday, March 23, 2017 | 10:30 AM – 1:00 PM

“A story has no beginning or end; arbitrarily one chooses that moment of experience from which to look back or from which to look ahead.” —Graham Greene, The End of the Affair (1951)

Where does a story start, and how does the first sentence suck the reader into the narrator’s world? What does it take to write sentences that function as mini-stories? We will work with this proposition: The story is not about what happened; it’s about what the narrator makes of what happened. We will consider how, even in a single sentence, narrators convey the impact on them of what they are describing—in other words the stakes for them in writing, why they care and why they hope the reader will care. We will look at the device of layering, where the narrator alternates three kinds of sentences: It happened; It reminded me of; It made me feel (know, understand, associate, etc.). Using layering techniques during the workshop, writers will produce a first sentence for a story as well as the first paragraph of that story. Everyone will have a chance to read their opening aloud and receive supportive feedback on their uses of craft elements.

Laurie Stone is author most recently of My Life as an Animal, Stories (Triquarterly Books, Northwestern University Press, October 2016). She was a longtime writer for the Village Voice, theater critic for The Nation, and critic-at-large on Fresh Air.

Springtime in Nickyland
March 18, 2017 – March 19, 2017
Saturday at 10PM; Sunday at 6PM
Curated and hosted by Nicky Paraiso

In the spirit of rebirth, renewal, and the resurrection of the spirit, curator and emcee Nicky Paraiso addresses the current political and social climate in a serious attempt to investigate and celebrate the origins of cabaret. Although the 19th century French definition referred to any business serving liquor, a cabaret in the early 20th century was an informal saloon or safe place, as it were, where poets, artists and composers could share ideas and compositions, present new works-in-progress and decry the political ills of the day. Exemplary writers, including David Cale, Jessica Hagedorn, Edgar Oliver and Laurie Stone are invited to respond to recent life-changing and transformational events while songs continue to be sung with entertaining consequence.

Yoshiko Chuma & The School of Hard Knocks

Name: St Urban Music and Literature Salon Series, featuring performance of “You, the Weather, a Wolf,” composed by Gordon Beeferman, texts by Laurie Stone and Johannes Brahms’ Neue Liebeslieder Waltzes, Op. 65,

performed by Sharon Harms (soprano),
Laura Mercado-Wright (mezzo),
Peter Tantsits (tenor),
Dominic Inferrera (baritone),
Gordon Beeferman, piano
Lenore Davis, piano.

Description: In their new collaboration, Gordon Beeferman and Laurie Stone play with the notion of romance that fueled Brahms’ Neue Liebeslieder Waltzes. Brahms composed within the framework of high romantic idealism. But Beeferman and Stone are creatures of their moment’s mongrel intensities and comic ambiguities. Beeferman riffs on Stone’s story fragments and themes of sudden reversal, wonder, lust, friendship, and the mysteries of unlikely desire. Together they create a work that is abstract and lyrical, arousing and tender.

Time: Wednesday December 21 @8.30-10:30pm.
