East Village Coffee Lounge: Book Signing, Music, Live Reading

This event has already passed

On Friday, July 31, 7:30pm-9pm, join us at East Village Coffee Lounge as author David Rasch and illustrator Jason Cirimele celebrate the publication of their illustrated collection of flash fiction, Short Hot Flashes. This event will include live music, readings of selected stories from the new book, raffles, a book signing, and other surprises!

David Rasch has been a multiple award-winner in the Monterey Weekly's 101-Word Short Story Contests, and is the author of a self-help book for writers, The Blocked Writer's Book of the Dead. Jason Cirimele is a San Francisco-based musician, artist, animator, and writer. Over the past decade he has released records under the moniker Dust Collector, a solo project that stylistically oscillates from hip-hop to experimental to country to psychedelia.

Short Hot Flashes is an illustrated collection of a hundred and one stories of 101 words. Each and every story is impossible to put down before you’ve finished reading them, if for no other reason than that they are very, very short. David Rasch’s tiny tales are entertaining, offbeat, and surprising literary snippets about birth, love, family, friendship, school, work, altered states of consciousness, spirituality and death. Jason Cirimele’s startling and unique illustrations are exceptional companions to the stories, and they offer the additional advantage of being drawings, so if reading 101 words feels like more than you can handle, just enjoy at the pictures.
