Euro Tour: London

The London launch of VLAK took place at Bethnal Green just around the corner from Brick Lane. The show began with a reading of Philippe Sollers’s acclaimed unpunctuated masterpiece by David Vichnar who translated the novel into English and published it at Equus Press. This was followed by a performance in words and text by Seekers of Lice. Next, Louis Armand read from his new poetry collection, The Rube Goldberg Variations. Belgian writer Vincent Dachy read some entertaining and unusual poems and Jim Ruland read from a scene in Forest of Fortune involving, what else, cocaine. After a short intermission, Adrian Clarke read some poems, Richard Makin read from his new novel, Mourning. Prague writer Arwen Bird also read some poems. Lastly, Thor Garcia did what Thor Garcia does in a style that many imitate but none can duplicate.
