SUMMARY:Smut: An Unseemly Story (The Greening of Mrs. Donaldson)
DESCRIPTION:One of England’s finest and most loved writers\, Alan Bennett\, explores the uncomfortable and tragicomic gap between people’s public appearance and their private desires in this tender and surprising story. In The Greening of Mrs. Donaldson\, a recently bereaved widow finds interesting ways to supplement her income by performing as a patient for medical students\, and renting out her spare room. Quiet\, middle-class\, and middle-aged\, Mrs. Donaldson will soon discover that she rather enjoys role-play at the hospital\, and the irregular and startling entertainment provided by her tenants.A master storyteller dissects a very English form of secrecy with this story of the unexpected in otherwise apparently ordinary lives.  Directed by Amy Kossow.

SUMMARY:The Worlds of João Gilberto Noll: Adam Morris + Scott Esposito
DESCRIPTION:Called “one of the most celebrated writers in contemporary Brazilian literature” by Guernica magazine\, author João Gilberto Noll made a splash in the United States last year with the novel Quiet Creature on the Corner\, named a “Best Book of 2016” by World Literature Today and praised in Literary Hub\, the Kenyon Review\, Electric Literature\, and The Rumpus. \nNow\, Two Lines Press is very proud to announce a launch event at longtime Bay Area publishing mecca City Lights Booksellers to celebrate the release of the follow-up to Quiet Creature\, Noll’s career-defining novel Atlantic Hotel.\nTwo Lines Press’s Scott Esposito will be in conversation with author and Portuguese translator Adam Morris\, who has brought both Quiet Creature on the Corner and Atlantic Hotel into English. \nCompared to David Lynch\, César Aira\, the Dadists\, and the Situationists\, Noll creates strange\, surprising books that question our basic assumptions about identity\, while delivering madcap plots that revolve around modern-day flâneurs. His innovative stories and difficult-to-pin-down sentences have been met enthusiastically by experimental American authors like Matt Bell\, Brian Evenson\, and Lance Olsen. \nJoin us at City Lights Booksellers on May 18 for a reading from Atlantic Hotel\, along with an intriguing conversation delving into modern-day Brazil\, Noll’s influences (including Clarice Lispector)\, his mysterious protagonists\, and the challenges of translating his labyrinthine\, twisty sentences into English.
