VOTM: What’s the most unusual experience you’ve had at a reading?
GNADE: Last tour in Olympia I jokingly threatened to cut the heads off two audience members with a samurai sword. (They were very drunk and talking loudly during my reading.) Thought it would be funny but the whole audience turned against me.
Adam Gnade writes a connected series of novels and what he calls “talking songs” (sort of audio books with music backing) that continue each other’s plotlines and share characters. Releases out via Three One G, Punch Drunk Press, Try Harder Records, Drowned-in-Sound, Blessing Force, DeathBombArc, and Pioneers Press. Also wrote a book called the Do-It-Yourself Guide to Fighting the Big Motherfuckin’ Sad. He’s from San Diego but lives on a farm in the rural Midwest now.
Come see Adam read at La Bodega Gallery in San Diego on Saturday, September 29 at 7pm
