:: Posted by max @ 3/29/2004 12:01:00 AM
DC Books invites you to join them for the launch of I CAN SEE YOU BEING INVISIBLE, A "Stand-up Tragedy" by Andy Brown



Thursday April 1st - 9pm @ Casa Del Popolo - 4873 St. Laurent



The launch will be adorned by music from Les Separatwists, graphic mayhem by Marc Ngui, and a screening of "Karma on the Corner" a short film starring Andy Brown.



"Brown is a pimp of the odd. The range and content of this collection sprawls buckshot from the absurd to the moody, and Brown writes with a lush and dense lens." -- The Link



I CAN SEE YOU BEING INVISIBLE is a diverse book of linked stories filled with off-centre characters and their flaws and burdens. Read about a one-armed baseball player, anosmiatics, a colour blind photographer, a time push and his best customer, intruders, the grape-picking diaspora, the whippet police, treeplanters lost in the slash, a one-handed mechanic with a reputation to uphold, and many more. Also contained in this collection are the definitive 'How-To' guide to building a wall and tales of writers getting real jobs (William Faulkner drives a cab, Mikhail Bakhtin becomes a clown). Brown moves from hilarity to foreboding, often with a single page,with a craftman's skill.



Reviews of the book can be found here at the danforth review and at bookslut.com here.
