Stillhouse Press celebrates the performance of Wendi Kaufman’s classic short story “Helen on Eighty-Sixth Street” on April 17 at New York City’s Symphony Space, where it will be read by Donna Lynn Champlin as part of the episode “Jane and Sarah’s Guide to Divorce and Happily Ever Afters” from “Selected Shorts.”
Nine and a half years ago, in August 2014, the story collection Helen on Eighty-Sixth Street was published as Stillhouse’s inaugural title—and though Wendi passed away later that year, we’re thrilled that her literary legacy lives on with this fresh new take on her moving and wickedly funny coming-of-age tale of family foibles and young heartache.
“Selected Shorts,” hosted by New York Times bestselling author Meg Wolitzer, is a book reading, live performance, podcast, and radio show all at once. Each performance takes place in the magnificent Symphony Space on Broadway, and features several short stories read by well-known actors.
This event will be performed in person and available to live-stream. Tickets can be purchased here. Each event is also broadcast at a later date over National Public Radio.
