Vermin returns to Sunday evenings at the Mountain Bar with a toothy vengeance. On Sunday June 25th, celebrate with this fearsome foursome of the dark literary arts:
New Yorker Jami Attenberg joins Vermin on the Mount to promote her brand new book INSTANT LOVE. This is her only Southern California appearance and she'll be signing her excellent book after the reading. Love ain't free - in the flesh or in hardback -- so be sure to bring a little extra cabbage.
Ben Weissman is the author of HEADLESS and DEAR DEAD PERSON. He is also the organizer and host of New American Writing at the Hammer Museum, the best reading series in town bar none.
Trinie Dalton is the author of WIDE EYED, the latest from Dennis Cooper's Little House on the Bowery series at Akashic Books. She also writes about art and co-compiled DEAR NEW GIRL OR WHATEVER YOUR NAME IS with Eli Horowitz and Lisa Wagner.
Chad Tsuyuki is in the creative writing program at Long Beach State University and the editor of Like Water Burning. He also has a very fine hairstyle.
The poster for this weekend's reading was created by the artist Adam Janes, who aside from being an all around swell person, helped build the Mountain bar! Fun sarts at 8, readings at 9, mayhem til midnight.
