SUMMARY:The Lonely (a Writers to Watch reading)
DESCRIPTION:This reading  draws inspiration from the work of the featured writers\, each of them exploring themes of loneliness\, longing\, and love. There is desire\, and there is dread. There is even decency. \nUsing personal stories\, fiction\, and fairy tales\, authors Keith Ecker\, Jac Jamc and Cecilia Pinto—three of the Guild’s 25 Writers to Watch—will navigate the not-necessarily-fraught territory of isolation with humor\, wit\, and understanding. \nThe Lonely will take place in the upstairs event space of Schubas Tavern (3159 N Southport). Admission is pay-what-you-can ($5 suggested donation). A full bar and food menu is available. \n  \nABOUT THE AUTHORS \n  \nKeith Ecker is the co-creator and executive producer of PleasureTown\, a serial audio drama featured on the WBEZ podcast network. He is also the creator of two of Chicago’s most notable live lit series\, Guts & Glory and Essay Fiesta. Keith has performed his personal essays throughout Chicago at venues as Printers Row Lit Fest\, the Chicago Writers Conference\, Write Club and Story Club\, among many others. \n  \n  \n  \nJac Jemc‘s first story collection\, A Different Bed Time\, was named one of Amazon’s Best Short Story Collections of 2014. Her novel\, My Only Wife was a finalist for the PEN/Robert W. Bingham Prize for Debut Fiction and winner of the Paula Anderson Book Award. She is the nonfiction editor for Hobart Web. Jac teaches fiction at the University of Notre Dame. \n  \n  \nCecilia Pinto‘s writing has appeared in a variety of publications including Esquire\, Fence\, Quarter After Eight\, Diagram\, and TriQuarterly. Her anthologized work appears in Saints of Hysteria\, Sonneteering\, Mentor and Muse\, Billet-Doux\, and elsewhere. She has worked with students in the Chicago Public Schools and the Chicago Park District\, and has taught for the Center for Talent Development at Northwestern\, the Graham School at the University of Chicago\, and the Poetry Center of Chicago among others. She received degrees in writing from Knox College and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Cecilia’s chapbook\, A Small Woman\, is forthcoming from Dancing Girl Press. \n  \n
