Sure, you've heard of wine pairings. But what about books and burlesque pairings?
During this show at Caveat on Saturday, December 21, award-winning authors will read excerpts from their new books. Then, a burlesque or drag performer will present a spectacular new act they created that was inspired by the book pairing.
This show features exciting award-winning and diverse authors reading excerpts from their new books: Emily Nussbaum's Cue the Sun: The Invention of Reality TV; Porochista Khakpour's novel Tehrangeles, Lena Valencia's short story collection Mystery Lights, Michael Waters' The Other Olympians: Fascism, Queerness, and the Making of Modern Sports; and Thomas Grattan's novel In Tongues.
Featured burlesque and drag performers include: Spookey, Malai, Antonio Amour, Gemma Smith and Desiree De Sade. The show's produced and hosted by Fortune Cookie.
Local bookstore Book Club Bar (197 East 3rd Street) will sell signed copies of all the books featured at the show.
Time Out tip: Tickets go fast for this show, but if it sells out, there will be a waitlist at the door.
