LITERARY MISFITS: CELEBRATING THE PUBLICATION OF RANBIR SINGH SIDHU'S DEEP SINGH BLUE | APRIL 4, 2016, 6 - 8 PM
With Robert Marshall and Titi Nguyen
CURATED BY DIANA LEE
None of us really fit in the literary world these days, but some of us fit less well than others. Join us for a night of reading, celebration, and discussion of what it means to fit—or not fit at all—into today’s literary culture. And about misfits in general, literary and real. The narrator of Ranbir Singh Sidhu’s debut novel Deep Singh Blue ticks all those boxes, and probably a few more, as does his publisher, the upstart Unnamed Press out of Los Angeles. The novelist Alex Shakar describes the book as, "a work of ferocious bravery, intelligence, and art." Visual artist, biographer and novelist Robert Marshall and memoirist and essayist Titi Nguyen will join Sidhu for a lively audience centered discussion.
