The Hugo Literary Series presents "LOVE IS THE DRUG" with DAVID WAGONER, RICK MOODY, MONICA DRAKE & music by EUX AUTRES
Friday, February 15 at 7:30 p.m. at Richard Hugo House, 1634 Eleventh Avenue

Presented by RICHARD HUGO HOUSE. Is love a cure, or does it require one? This season's Hugo Literary Series presents writers and musicians with new, original work on a theme—and a chance to see writers both familiar and less so in a different light. Longtime Seattle-area writer, professor, and editor (Poetry Northwest) David Wagoner is the author of many award-winning poetry collections, most recently Good Morning and Good Night (University of Illinois), and many highly praised novels, The Escape Artist among them. Novelist Rick Moody's books include Garden State, The Ice Storm, and, most recently, Right Livelihoods: Three Novellas (Little, Brown). Monica Drake visited Seattle and Elliott Bay this past autumn with her debut novel, Clown Girl (from Portland's Hawthorne Books). Portland-based brother-sister duo Eux Autres will provide the coda, delivered in their unique, 1960s French pop-inflected style, and the evening ends, as usual, with food and drink. Tickets ($25/$15 students & seniors) via www.brownpapertickets.com or 1-800-838-0006. For information about related writing classes, please call (206) 322-7030. Richard Hugo House is located at 1634 Eleventh Avenue (just north of Pine.) Tickets are still available (same sources) for the final Hugo Literary Series event, "Answered Prayers and Other Tragedies," featuring new work by Sherman Alexie, Michelle Tea, David Schmader, and Sean Nelson (of Harvey Danger), March 28 at 7:30 p.m. at Town Hall Seattle. For more information about all of this and more, please see www.hugohouse.org.
