Seattle's best authors to come together for literary event | Arts & Culture

Local bibliophiles should mark Thursday night on their calendars, because a half dozen of the city’s most lauded authors are getting together for a reading at the Jewell Box Theater.

The Nervous Breakdown Literary Experience will give audience members a chance to get up close and personal with authors Sean Beaudoin, Aaron Dietz, Litsa Dremousis, Tom Hansen, Lauren Hoffman and Matthew Simmons as they share some of their celebrated work.

Here's how Capitol Hill's own Litsa Dremousis describes the reading:

With chests puffed, fingers crossed and, perhaps, a drink or two imbibed, we'll launch at 7:00 p.m., Thursday, September 23rd at the Jewelbox Theater in the Rendezvous, purveyors of wickedly fun arts events and some of the best yam fries in the city, ensconced at 2322 2nd Avenue in the north part of Belltown. Five bucks at the door.
