Double Take XI

Join apexart for the eleventh edition of Bookforum Editor Albert Mobilio’s Double Take, a unique reading series that asks authors to write original works based on shared experiences.

Stories:
At a screening of Alfred Hitchcock’s 1964 film Marnie, Karen Schoemer and Laurie Stone tour the heady days of Freudian chic, when people seasoned conversations with the terms “frigid” and “kleptomaniac.”

“Can I expound the skies?” Emily Dickinson once asked. Star Black and Joseph Donahue will look up, and do so.

In the night woods of Maine, Sarah Braunstein and William Giraldi encounter the damage from a giant moose.

Totally Free.

Star Black is a photographer, poet, and artist. She has authored six collections of poetry and currently teaches in the MFA program at Stony Brook Southampton.

Sarah Braunstein is the author of The Sweet Relief of Missing Children (W.W. Norton, 2011; paperback 2012; Italian translation from 66thand2nd, 2012).

Joseph Donahue was born in Dallas in 1954 and grew up in Lowell, Massachusetts. He was educated at Dartmouth College and Columbia University.

William Giraldi is the author of the novel Busy Monsters, published by W.W. Norton (2011). He is Fiction Editor for the journal AGNI at Boston University.

Karen Schoemer has written for Newsweek, The New York Times, Rolling Stone, Blender, and other publications.

Laurie Stone is author of three books of fiction and nonfiction. A longtime writer for the Village Voice, she has been theater critic for The Nation and critic-at-large on Fresh Air.

Albert Mobilio is the recipient of a Whiting Writers’ Award and the National Book Critics Circle award for reviewing. His work has appeared in Harper’s, Black Clock, BOMB, Cabinet, Open City, and Tin House. Books of poetry include Bendable Siege, The Geographics, Me with Animal Towering, and Touch Wood.
