Literary Death Match: Travel Writing in Turbulent Times Fri, Jun 11, 6:30 – 9 pm, YBCA Forum Featuring special guest judges: Daniel Handler Brian Boitano Susie Bright With readings by: Jillian Lauren Daniel Alarcón Beth Lisick Taylor Mali Join hosts Elissa Bassist and Todd Zuniga at this Def Poetry Jam meets Double Dare at this gloves-off, glasses-on competitive reading extravaganza! Booze it up while badgering and backslapping the literati as Daniel Handler (aka Lemony Snicket), Olympic figure skating champion Brian Boitano, and Pulitzer Prize-winning author Jane Smiley pass cruel and unusual judgment on notorious wordsmiths as they navigate their way through two rounds of cutthroat, tongue-in-cheek judging. Novelist and former harem girl Jillian Lauren, 2006 PEN/Hemingway Award Finalist Daniel Alarcón, bestselling author and Porchlight Storytelling Series co-founder Beth Lisick, and Royal Shakespeare Company alum and slam poet Taylor Mali will duke it out for the moderately sought-after LDM episode 30 championship title, and will then lord it over the illiterate rabble. The final, legendary Death Match round is sure to shock and awe, and maybe inspire. Don’t miss this Global Lives Project-themed mayhem! Visit www.literarydeathmatch.com for more details. Buy your tickets now and arrive early—seating is on a first-come, first-served basis!
