How often do you get to hear fiction writers read entire stories in one sitting? In my experience, almost never. But last night at NYU's Lillian Vernon House was different. Contributors to the past and current (shown above) issues of Epiphany defeated the Curse of the Fiction Reader (i.e., when you can only read three pages of a 12-page story, nobody knows what the hell you're talking about).
Editor Jeffrey Gustavson plays emcee.
Lara Tupper steams things up with "Ting!," a tale of hot encounters between cruise ship crew.
April Naoko Heck gets in our face with her non-confessional confessional poetry (note that's an index finger, not a middle!).Your next chance to experience current Epiphany work will be Wednesday at 7, upstairs at Pianos, during the official issue release party. Rumor has it there will be people reading, but it will be business as usual, at only about 5 minutes each, so, alas, poets win again. But as always, we fiction writers have liquor to make up for that.
