On Tuesday, April 8, at 7:45 p.m., I will read my story Pervert at Freddy’s Bar in Brooklyn. Freddy’s Bar is located in Prospect Heights, a block from the Bergen stop on the 2 train. If all goes well, it will still be located there on Tuesday, April 8, at 7:45 p.m., when I read my story Pervert.

WHAT: Michael Barrish reads his story Pervert
WHEN: Tuesday, April 8, 7:45 p.m.
WHERE: Freddy’s Bar, 485 Dean Street, Brooklyn (directions)
TRAINS: 2, 3 (Bergen); 4, 5, M, N, R, Q, W (Atlantic/Pacific)

I have no interest, by listening, in knowing what’s going on in that room except in the most general sense of knowing. It is crucial, for reasons that will soon become obvious, that you grasp this distinction. I am listening, yes, but hopefully in such a way that I cannot hear what I am listening to.
