Join us for a reading/performance by Brielle Brilliant as she stops in Asheville on THE SPUD release tour.
The SPUD is a puzzle: thinking/watching/living a movie rerun. While its content is most similar to A Clockwork Orange, Sartre’s Nausea, or the works of Cormac McCarthy, its form has more in common with indie films like Badlands and Deleuze’s philosophies on cinema.
“I can’t think of another writer like Brielle Brilliant right now. She’s doing something really unforgettable with language and narrative and memory and time.”
— Scott McClanahan, author of The Sarah Book
