SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Reading and Q&A with Danielle Evans
DESCRIPTION:Login here (no pre-registration needed): http://tinyurl.com/ZellWriters25\n\nZell Visiting Writers Series readings and Q&As are free and open to the public. Seats are offered on a first come\, first served basis\; please arrive early to secure a spot.\n\nDanielle Evans is the author of the story collections *The Office of Historical Corrections and Before You Suffocate Your Own Fool Self.* Her first collection won the PEN American Robert W. Bingham Prize\, the Hurston-Wright award for fiction\, and the Paterson Prize for fiction\; her second won the Janet Heidinger Kafka Prize and The Bridge Book Award and was a finalist for The Aspen Prize\, The Story Prize\, and The LA Times Book prize. She is a 2024 USA Artists Fellow\, a 2020 National Endowment for the Arts fellow\, and the winner of New Literary Project Joyce Carol Oates Prize. Her stories have appeared in magazines including *The Paris Review\, A Public Space\, American Short* *Fiction\, and The Sewanee Review*\, and have been anthologized in *The Best American Short Stories and New Stories From The South*. She is an Associate Professor in The Writing Seminars at Johns Hopkins University and earned her MFA from The University of Iowa. \n\nHer work is interested in the gap between what happened and how people talk about it—what gets omitted or reframed\, what depends on whose version of the story is centered\, and how those gaps and omissions operate in the space of an individual life\, in a family\, and in a country. She is particularly interested in the question of performance: when the gulf between a character’s public self and private self is an act of conscious performance\, what makes a character aware that a role or performance is being demanded of them\, and how performance can be both an act of resistance and an act of acquiescence\, sometimes at the same time. \n\nFor any questions about the event or to share accommodation needs\, please email kimjulie@umich.edu--we are eager to help ensure this event is inclusive to you.

SUMMARY:Performance:GATZ
DESCRIPTION:\"The most remarkable achievement in theater not only of this year\, but also of this decade.” (The New York Times)\n\nOne morning in the shabby office of a mysterious small business\, an employee finds a copy of The Great Gatsby in the clutter on his desk. He starts to read it out loud… and doesn’t stop. At first\, his coworkers hardly notice. But after a series of strange coincidences\, it’s no longer clear whether he’s reading the book or the book is transforming him.\n\nA century after the publication of The Great Gatsby and 20 years after its acclaimed off-Broadway run\, Elevator Repair Service’s GATZ comes to Ann Arbor following its sold-out run at New York’s Public Theater in November 2024. Told over a single 6½-hour production (plus dinner break)\, GATZ is not just a retelling of the Gatsby story\, but an enactment of the novel in which Fitzgerald’s masterpiece is cleverly delivered word for word. This literary tour-de-force by one of American theater’s most exciting and inventive companies is “strangely seductive\, often revelatory\, and altogether ingenious.” (Chicago Sun-Times)\n\nThis performance will take place in four sections with two 15-minute intermissions and a 90-minute dinner break (dinner not included in ticket price) for a total length of approximately eight hours. Information about dinner options will be provided closer to the performances.
