SUMMARY:📗 'Fresh\, Green Life' book launch at Neon Clown Dream Lounge
DESCRIPTION:This Saturday at Neon Clown Dream Lounge we’re throwing a book launch for the novel ‘Fresh\, Green Life’ by Philly author Sebastian Castillo (Soft Skull Press). Come out and get a signed copy! \n🗓️ Saturday\, July 12th\n🕖 Doors at 7 PM\, show at 7:30\n📌 Neon Clown Dream Lounge\, 1248 N. Front St.\, PHL\n➡️ opening readings by Josef Kaplan & John Paetsch\n➡️ debut performance of the one-act play “Why Even Read It?” by Sebastian Castillo\, starring Matt Zarenkiewicz\, Molly Gorelick & David Sexton \nSebastian Castillo is a writer and teacher living in Philadelphia. He was born in Caracas\, Venezuela\, and grew up in New York. His work has appeared in New York Tyrant\, Peach Mag\, Electric Literature\, Joyland\, Epoch\, BOMB\, and elsewhere. He is the author of 49 Venezuelan Novels\, Not I\, SALMON\, and The Zoo of Thinking. \n> After experiencing a mysterious heart-related health scare\, our narrator\, Sebastian Castillo\, who shares his name with this book’s author\, resolves to spend a year alone in self-imposed exile\, passing the time by exercising each day and watching self-improvement videos. \n> But come New Year’s Eve\, Sebastian will break his expulsion from everyday life by accepting an invitation to the home of a former philosophy professor for a reunion with his cohort\, one decade after graduating. This invitation surely would have been ignored if not for the promised attendance of Maria\, Sebastian’s former classmate and love interest. What follows is an inexplicable series of fascinating events charting the erosion of young\, bookish hope. \n> Fresh\, Green Life is a meditation on literature\, education\, and philosophy\, a trek through the past that forecasts a mediocre future\, and a compact miracle of the fake-real.
