We can think of plenty of good reasons for nonfiction writing to exist, and memoirist Katie Lee Ellison's Nonfiction for No Reason proves why: the newly created reading series, which invites writers to use the stage as a "testing ground for raw material and brand new books," unveils some of the strongest new nonfiction work out there. This edition of the event will include a reading by local poet Jane Wong from her new memoir Meet Me Tonight in Atlantic City, which Stranger editor Rich Smith describes as embodying "her humor, her power with images, her love of her mom, her stunning emotional pivots, and her nearly maniacal embrace of the grotesque, dripping, greasy corners of the world." She'll be joined by writers Ally Ang, Rebecca Clarren, and Grace Dunbar-Miller for an evening of truth-telling.
