RAGAD presents INTERSECTIONS: A READING FROM THE STREETS. Join local authors for a night of readings, both fictive and non, based on Chicago street intersections and locales. Come listen and see how the roads you travel inspire other. This event doubles as a release party for RAGAD # 4, which features a short called “The Landing” by Paul Silverman. This event is free. Copies of RAGAD’s new issue as well as back issues will be available. With readings by Pete Coco (editor of Please Don’t), Scott Stealy (editor of Please Don’t), Ben Tanzer (author of Lucky Man), CT Ballentine, and RAGAD editor Nick Ostdick. Fun for all!
