How fin was my de siècle

   Posted by: Kathe   in Performance, Research

Tuesday evening, I’m going to be hanging out with the bad boy French symbolists, talking of decadence, sharing my fave bits of Rimbaud, and reading (the first ever public presentation!) from both Under the Poppy and its ever-growing Part II (yes, there is more: lots more). All this takes place at Wayne State University, hosted by Prof. Anca Vlasopolos. Did I mention there’s also a full moon that night? Oh yeah.

Damn! No fair, I’m 2500 miles away! Sure wish I could be there, sounds like a great evening.

It truly was. I couldn’t have asked for a more receptive – or perceptive – audience; the questions were astute, and we laughed a lot. Those with a working knowledge of, and friendly eye for, the piquant and the decadent usually have the sense of humor to go along with it.

And I loved reading (performing, really) the first sections of the book(s). This theatrical subject is calling out the theatrical in me. All I need now is a little black dress, and the proper musical accompaniment. . . .

I think that you should contact God Rufus. Send him a copy of the UtP manuscript as the first step toward seduction (Or do I mean collaboration there?) But when the UtP Wainwright/Koja ‘album’ appears, garners critical acclamation and tours the world as a lavishly produced concert show, I want to be there to enjoy it with you. In fact, I want to make and operate the puppets!!! (-:
