Tonight: Christian Bök at Kelly Writer’s House

Eunoia

Tonight, the Kelly Writer’s House is hosting Christian Bök, a writer and creator of no one — but two – artificial languages used on TV shows.

Bök is also the author of Eunoia, a five chapter book that features and uses a different vowel in each chapter. An excerpt: “Enfettered, these sentences repress free speech.” Another: “Dutch smut churns up blushful succubus lusts.”

He also makes books out of Rubik’s Cubes, performs sound poetry, and writes deep thoughts about Legos. Bök will read from his work, followed by a discussion with members of the Penn English Department.

3805 Locust St.

6pm, free.
