No, the title of this note/blog/awesome timewaster wasn't written to lure you in. Though if that was the case, then thank you for reading. I know your life is very hectic, especially if you're a college student who is trying to finish up final papers, projects and getting ready for finals.
Good luck on finals btw!
That is why I shall be brief. This Friday at 11:30am, I will host a series called the DePaul Authors' Series. The series is a interview/conversation with an author from the Chicagoland area in which the host and author discuss a book the author recently wrote as well as venture into other topics that may arise.
The revived series' first episode will include Stephen Markley. He wrote a book called "Publish This Book: A Premature Memoir" in which he decided to write a book about trying to write a book and have it published. The book he wants to publish is "Publish This Book."
"Wait a sec---what?!" you might be saying.
Yeah, I know. I'm still a bit confused by this, and I am 2/3 through the book.
But this book is much more than its title. It goes into Markley's attempts to hit it big as a writer as well as his move from his native Ohio to Chicago and his time freelancing for various publications, including the Red Eye. I can't really describe it but my friend Blythe was able to: it's a mindfuck.
But it's a mindfuck in a good way, like 'Being John Malkovich' or 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind' (basically anything Charlie Kaufman has ever written)
I invite you to tune in if you are near a computer at 11:30am this Friday. You will be entertained and support the arts at the same time.
