The folks at Curbside Splendor have launched a new audio project and they asked me to record myself read “Maria Loves Albert” a story that was featured in Another Chicago Magazine.
here is what they have to say about it:
Curbside Sounds is a new audio project where we’ll feature authors we dig reading their work or telling a story while sitting on a curb or their favorite bench, at a bar in the middle of a lazy afternoon, and sometimes (as in this case) even at a recording studio. For our first installment we’ve got Chicago writer Chris Bower reading his story “Maria Loves Albert” (Available inAnother Chicago Magazine Issue 50.2).
Another good review for Deliver Us From Nowhere: Tales From Nebraska
Chicago Reader reccommends Deliver Us From Nowhere: Tales From Nebraska
My discovery at the Diner Grill eating 2 eggs (over medium) and hash browns (with no toast) for $3.85 and reading the house Sun-Times was that they actually printed the article written about Deliver Us From Nowhere: Tales From Nebraska that contains a pretty extensive interview with me about the piece I wrote for the show. I thought it was only an online thing, or because I happen to me a North Shore product, a Pioneer Press thing. I was excited so I called my mom who then sent her servants to go to Walgreens to buy “every copy they had” which was only 3 because someone spilled a 2 liter bottle of Diet Doctor Pepper on “most of the other copies.” After promising her my apartment was clean, I then texted a bunch of people who I thought might like to know about me being in the real paper, not realizing that every response was texted to every person I sent it to and each angry response to getting each response was going to each person I sent it to. Honestly, I almost threw my phone out the window because I couldn’t stop it and I am truly sorry because I know how annoying that can be. I promise not to text anyone about this again or maybe ever again, but if you want to read the article, it’s right here:
