Actually I’m not reading… Sally Shore has an amazing cast performing these tales… I will be there to sign books and hang out though.

James Joyce Would’ve Loved This
By Heidi Dvorak
Hemingway mastered the art of short fiction in six words: “For sale: baby shoes, never worn.” Although L.A.’s longest-running spoken-word program, “The New Short Fiction Series,” isn’t likely to feature such verbally economical literature, it promises equally compelling prose from an impressive array of West Coast writers. The season opener launches tonight at the newly designated Knitting Factory venue, the Federal Bar, with author Elizabeth E. King reading from her book, Real Conversations With Imaginary Friends. Whether her deliciously funny or heart-wrenching words make listeners want to eat with abandon or drown in drink, ample opportunities exist at this gourmet gastropub with 20 craft beers on tap.
Theater meets Literature ……Short Fiction Performed By Actors
Sally Shore’s “The New Short Fiction Series”, L.A.’s longest running spoken word is kicking-off their 16th season with a book launch of ‘RealConversations With Imaginary Friends’ by E.E. King, author of ‘Dirk Quigby’s Guide to the Afterlife – All You Need to Know to Choose the Right Heaven’. A review of this book says:
“E.E. King delivers a collection of short stories that are original, funny and always thought provoking. From a hilarious tale of an animal activist that can’t get anything right to a man tasked with writing a guidebook for heaven. These tales will delight you. Ray Bradbury, author of Fahrenheit 451 had this to say,”These tales are marvelously inventive, wildly funny and deeply thought provoking. I can not recommend them highly enough.”
The performance stars spoken word artist Sally Shore, with guest cast David Bickford (House, Off Their Rockers), Jim Hanks (Always A Bride, Odd Brodsky) and David St. James (Transformers 3).
