Reading
at D.G. Wills!
Collette LaBouf
Atkinson, Brandi Bell, Estela Eaton, Guillermo Nericcio Garcia, Cassandra
Gonzalez, Sandra Hunter, Maggie Jaffe and Leon Lanzbom will be performing
at D.G. Wills Books on December 10th, 7pm, to commemorate the Decay and
Decadence issue of pacificREVIEW.
pacificREVIEW
has published high-quality fiction, poetry, essays, and artwork since 1972.
The journal showcases the work of emergent literati, pairing their efforts
with the work of established artists. After the nineteenth century Decay
and Decadence movement, this issue further explores the role of decadence
in art as a progressive reflection of decay in society. Like funhouse mirrors
inverting the relationship between inflator and inflated, the works presented
in this issue foreground the cataclysmic and much anticipated demise of
the artist against the summits of aestheticism, hence fashioning her after
the herculean strength and vulnerability of her subject.
D.G. Wills
Books, La Jolla's most decadent collection of new and scholarly books and
home of the La Jolla Cultural Society, is located at 7461 Girard Avenue,
La Jolla Ca. 92037 (858) 456-1800.
More information
is available on their website: www.dgwillsbooks.com
This event is free and open to the public.
