Renee Gladman: reading from Calamities

@ The Renaissance Society

Kent Hall, 1020 E 58th St, Chicago IL 60637

Opening Thursday, May 25th, from 6PM - 7:30PM

Author of nine works of prose and one poetry collection, Renee Gladman’s work has been described by Publishers Weekly as “push(ing) up against the boundaries of narrative while nestling comfortably within it. Her prose is vivid, meandering, and acute.”

Here she reads from her recent book Calamities, a collection of linked essay-fictions on writing and time. Gladman approaches language as a space to enter and travel within, and her writing is attuned to the body as it moves through architectures of thought and experience. “The sentence is a street, a city for my narrators,” she says, or “a map of where we have gone and where we wish to go.”

This event is presented in conjunction with our current exhibition, Klein / Olson and in partnership with the Seminary Co-op bookstores.
