Weirdies and Public Readings :: Ed Lin Speaks Out
In his essay, “Waylaid by Weirdness: On Q&As, Pop-Tarts, and Asian Porn Stars,” Ed Lin takes a hindsight humorous look at the “Weirdies” that seem to crop up regularly at public readings. “The only downside to readings is when the Weirdies show up. Weirdies love mouthing along during the reading; asking many, many questions during the Q&A; and following the author for blocks afterward.” For specific examples, visit Lin’s piece on The Stranger.
