Please join us for a summer drink to celebrate the launch of Francesco Pedraglio’s A man in a room spray-painting a fly… (or at least trying to…).
The evening features a choreographed reading by the people that, practically or conceptually, made the book possible, including Paul Becker, Tania Perez Cordova, James Langdon, the Book Works team and Francesco himself.
A man in a room spray-painting a fly… (or at least trying to…) presents the possibility of a story within numerous other possible stories, each one marked by diversion, interruption and red herring. Concerned with the correlation between objects and writing, as well as the relationship between spoken word and written, this dark, absurd and often funny story, uses the corpse of narrative fiction as a character, whose repeated deaths generate the conditions for new starts, and differing scenarios.
