The Underground Literary Alliance is on the road. The Philadephia Weekly asks, “Is the ULA a subversive prank? Or a genuine revolution in American literature? One suspects a bit of both.” (St. John Barned-Smith)
This month, ULA author and Cleveland native, Wred Fright, is dragging Crazy Carl Robinson around on a six-city reading tour, including our fair Steel City. Says Wright, “In this revolutionary month of July, we'd like to make this declaration of literary independence because American literature, like American democracy, is not in the healthiest of shapes at the moment.”
Fright’s semi-autobiographical “The Pornographic Flabbergasted Emus” is a humorous look at the life of a hapless Ohio garage band. Robinson will be reading from his latest novel, “Fat on the Vine,” and the Pittsburgh-based Karen Lillis [me] reads at this stop from her forthcoming novel, “The Second Elizabeth.”
