Frederic Tuten will host a literary evening as part of Z-A, a 26-day festival celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Storefront for Art and Architecture.

Sponsored by a consortium of art and literary magazines in support of the Storefront, including Cabinet, BOMB, Open City, Smyles & Fish, Tin House, Mr. Beller’s Neighborhood, Guernica, KGB Barlit, and others, the evening will feature a reading by four writers who have written about or who themselves make art, and will be held in a pavilion (a giant dome built out of 1,000 Hula-Hoops) constructed especially for the Storefront festival.

Tuten, the author of van Gogh’s Bad Café and will be joined by Shelley Jackson, the author of Half-Life and The Melancholy of Anatomy; Wayne Koestenbaum, whose most recent book, Hotel Theory is a hybrid of fiction and nonfiction; and Iris Smyles, a writer and cartoonist and editor of Smyles & Fish.
