Description

PLEASE SAVE THE DATE AND MARK YOUR CALENDAR

Author Stephen Elliott reads from his book, ‘The Adderall Diaries: A Memoir of Moods, Masochism and Murder.’

Based on a true life event, Stephen Elliott will read from his book and sign books at the end. A Question and Answer session will follow.

Wine and hors d’oeuvres will be served.

“Despite the luridness of the subject matter, the author creates a refined, beautiful work of art. His themes-seemingly crime, murder, drugs and sadomasochistic sex-actually encapsulate the nature of truth, self, love and memory, and the limits of art to get at them all. Deserves a place on the shelf next to such classics of uninhibited American introspection as On the Road and A Fan’s Notes.” – Kirkus (starred review)

Vanity Fair writes, “Elliott may be writing under the influence, but it’s the influence of genius.”

Elliott’s writing has been featured in Esquire, The New York Times, GQ, Best American Non-Required Reading 2005. He was a Wallace Stegner Fellow at Stanford University and is an editor at The Rumpus.

** Please NOTE: Subject matter may contain adult content and may not be suitable for children or young adults.

Advance books are for sale for $20.00 if you’d like to save a little money and read the book BEFORE the reading, please contact Lesley via Facebook or email for a book.

We look forward to seeing you at this event. You won’t want to miss it!

Remember, WEDNESDAY, December 9th, 2009 at 7PM at the BIHL HAUS ARTS.
