Lynne Tillman: Words Are Images, Too: Oct 14

Lynne Tillman: Words Are Images, Too

Thursday, October 14, 7 pm

SVA Theatre, 333 West 23 Street

Free and open to the public

Lynne Tillman will talk about her fiction, especially those works that address art and visual culture using stories and characters. In writing alongside art, Tillman engages a perpetual problem: How to discuss, describe, and comment upon one medium through another. Tillman has crossed and recrossed the lines between fiction and criticism often, especially in This Is Not It: Stories by Lynne Tillman (D.A.P., 2002). She is the author of the novels Haunted Houses (Serpent's Tail, 1987); Motion Sickness (Serpent's Tail, 1991); Cast in Doubt (Serpent's Tail, 1992); No Lease on Life (Mariner Books, 1998); and the story collections Absence Makes the Heart (Serpent's Tail, 1990) and The Madame Realism Complex (Semiotext(e), 1992). Her non-fiction books include The Velvet Years: Warhol's Factory 1965 - 1967 (Thunder's Mouth Press, 1995); The Broad Picture (Serpent’s Tail, 1997); and Bookstore: The Life and Times of Jeannette Watson and Books & Co (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 1999). She writes regularly on art, books, and culture and contributes frequently to artists' books and museum catalogues.
