Kirsten Skrinde Reading
Congratulations are due to Kirsten, who has been invited to read from her fiction at a Manhattan bookstore. The time is Wednesday, March 24, at 7 p.m.; the store is Bluestockings, “a bookstore, fair-trade cafe, and activist center in the Lower East Side” according to its web site (http://bluestockings.com/). The reading is sponsored by the journal Calyx (http://www.proaxis.com/~calyx/journal.html) and features three writers who have appeared in its pages. Kirsten will be reading from her story “What to Do When Your Best Friend Commits Suicide.”
Kirsten informs me that though she owns some actual blue stockings, she will not be wearing them for this occasion (”that would be pandering”), and adds that “although as you know I am more comfortable than most with humiliating myself publicly,” she’s a little nervous about it. What we actually know is that she’ll be great; we’re right proud of her, as my grandmother would have said.
