A Daring Writer Reads in Raleigh

At the admirable Quail Ridge Books at 7:30 tomorrow (Thursday) night, Joe Ashby Porter will read from his new book of short stories, All Aboard.

A Shakespeare scholar and teacher of creative writing at Duke University, Porter has earned many awards for his work, including an Academy Award from the Academy of Arts and Literature, with the commendation: “No writer of his gifted generation has shown greater daring or has earned higher praise.”

And from the Quail Ridge description of All Aboard: “Porter ventures into new, sometimes unprecedented territory, from the luxe restraint of ‘Merrymount,’ through the stops-out eroticism of ‘Pending,’ to the distilled heebie-jeebies of ‘Dream On.’ Here, reading, travel, and sexual orientation (and disorientation) loom larger than before in Porter, and the dialogue gives new play for what Harry Mathews has called Porter’s ‘golden ear.'”

Do come if you’re in the neighborhood.
