Both coasts. This Sunday the 14th at 7 p.m. he'll be reading at KGB Bar in NYC with Peter Carey! and Wesley Stace (aka John Wesley Harding).

In 1998, I stumbled on a life-changing website made possible by Francis Ford Coppola. Roy was there, along with a hundred other writers who've become my daily friends via the web, and, when I'm lucky, also in 3D. On Monday night - the 15th - a group of us dear friends and Zoetrope writers will be reading with Roy at The Back Room. Opium Magazine is sponsoring the event.

Reading (in order of miles traveled): Roy Kesey (Beijing), Kevin Dolgin (Paris), Darlin Neal (Oakland), Pasha Malla (Toronto), Jeff Landon (Virginia), Claudia Smith (Austin), Me (New Orleans), Kim Chinquee (Michigan), Gail Siegel (Chicago), Grant Bailie (Cleveland), Jim Nichols (Maine), Susan Henderson (Long Island), Lindsay Brandon Hunter (NYC), and our darling host, Todd Zuniga (NYC). Our stories need to come in at 3 minutes, so buckle your seatbelts.

Then, Roy travels to the West Coast for readings in:
Los Angeles at Skylight Books, (where he'll read with Zoetrope friend, Jim Ruland)
San Diego at Voz Alta Project with Vermin On The Mount
Pacific Palisades (again with Jim Ruland at Village Books)
and San Francisco (Valencia Street Books).
He'll finish strong at Mendocino Book Company in Ukiah, his hometown.
