SOLO SUNDAYS - 10/25/15
B Á R B A R A S E L F R I D G E ---------------------------------- "Stalking Grace" (an excerpt)
Any three points make a triangle. Like when there's a pair of writer/activists and you show up to work for only one of them. Can the political effectiveness you achieve as Grace Paley's personal assistant counteract the damage you do at 5am, when her husband wants to start writing and you're sleeping in his study? You can't give up, tho, can you? Are you a feminist or are you Goldilocks?
S U S A N G I L L ---------------------------------------------------- "Rabbi, the Missing Bride is in Miami Beach with a Gentile Lifeguard and 21 Cats"
Susan loses interest in eating her croissant when her 10 year old son switches from describing the finer points of Wrestlmania to requesting psychotherapy. Psychotherapy? Why does he want psychotherapy? Susan grew up with a suicidal father and a sister who had a borderline personality. That's reason for psychotherapy. Her son's childhood was normal. Wasn't it?
S A R A H E L O V I C H ---------------------- "Die, Uber, Die"
Uber is the worst, and Sarah is the only one who can bring them down. But before she can, she needs to figure out why it's so unacceptable for her to express rage. Will she stand over the sink, stabbing her fingers until they bleed, like she was taught to do? Or shove the anger down underneath a carpet of judgement? Or is it possible that she can find a way back in time to retell the story, so that it ends in a punchline instead of a massacre?
P H I L S U R K I S ------------------------- "The Puzzle House"
Rather than attending high school, Phil spends his days eating peanut butter and playing the electric bass.The only trouble is, he gets peanut butter all over his bass guitar. It's quite a unique sound, actually. His mom sometimes joins in on cowbell. It's a sound that will send Phil all the way to the puzzle house.
