KGB Bar

Have you ever felt you were being watched? It may not be paranoia. In celebration of our latest release, the world’s most notorious literary marathon brings you a special night of storytelling, featuring two very different perspectives on the art of spying in New York.

The event begins with a rare screening of LOUD PEOPLE, a short film by Brooklyn writer Todd Lamb (toddlamb.net). LOUD PEOPLE features actual overhead NYC cell phone conversations, re-enacted by comedians from 4Track improv and set to music by the rock band Tortoise. Following that, Jason Rapczynski reads from THE VIDEOGRAPHER, the newly released winner of the 2008 International 3-Day Novel Contest (3daynovel.com). THE VIDEOGRAPHER follows a film-school dropout who finds work taping street fights and setting up spy cams in I-95 rest stops.
