Book Release Party for “The Pink Trance Notebooks” by Wayne Koestenbaum at The Kitchen

On September 21st, The Kitchen will help us celebrate the release of Wayne Koestenbaum’s new book, The Pink Trance Notebooks, arriving in October.  A sequence of 34 intimate epigrammatic assemblages, Pink Trance is the product of the year Koestenbaum stopped keeping the traditional journal he had maintained for three decades and embarked instead on a series of “trance notebooks” as a way to transform his diary into a higher pitch of reckless ceremony, an occasion for intensified, unmoored consciousness. To mark the book’s publication, and to manifest the spirit of linguistic improvisation, Koestenbaum will perform piano miniatures (Scriabin, Chopin, Fauré, Milhaud, Poulenc) while incanting spontaneous Sprechstimme-style soliloquies. To frame…
