We are so sorry that the event on the 18th was cancelled; we hope you will attend the new reading on December 2nd 6PM ET.
Because of rioting in the streets, Leslie has agreed to read the famed MÉNAGE À SIX chapter as part of his presentation. With the cat.
There is no registration needed, just a link (see button just below) taking you straight to YouTube for a live broadcast. Best to push the button just prior to 6PM on the night of the event. But you’ll see that the stage is set, if you do a trial run beforehand.

You remarked,
freeing my tongue’s needle
stuck on its damaged record,
how cúpla dán of mine are hearkening back,
a kind of grappling for the life buoy’s O
of the roads, streets and life of the drowned city
we both hail from.
— Greg Delanty from "The Lost Way"

Mark Chester's Twosomes touring exhibit and companion book from Un-Gyve Press represents images culled from his forty years of traveling with a camera, presented in pairings related by subject matter, graphic interest or, as the photographer puts it, “a stretch of the imagination.” — a wide-reaching body-of-work that connects architectural icons with sidewalk signage; Japan with Iowa; 1979 with 2002; celebrity with passerby in a manner that reveals, as novelist Paul Theroux describes, “tremendous humanity and humor....In this juxtaposition of matching moods and paraphernalia, Mark Chester shows us in an ingenious way how the world is related and how we matter to each other.”
