Literary Stand-up: Snarky, Fresh and Sizzling Short Reads | 7pm | A collection of literary shorts—fiction and non-fiction—that sparkle with wit, sarcasm and keen observations. | Bart’s Books | Hemingway mastered the art of short story in six words: “For sale: baby shoes, never worn.” Come hear writers works—pared down and whittled away—reminding us that indeed good things do come in small packages. Featuring Los Angeles writers E.E. King “whose glittering gems of fiction pack a lot into a small space. Her work combines the O. Henry twist with the poetry and mystery of Ray Bradbury. Due to her theatrical training, hearing Ms. King read, greatly enhances the experience.”
Ray Bradbury “These tales are marvelously inventive, wildly funny and deeply thought provoking. I can not recommend them highly enough.”
