Chiwan Choi is Writing a Book and Destroying It

12:59 PM PDT on September 25, 2015

    Chiwan Choi is writing a book in an unusual way. Harking back to the oral story-telling tradition, Choi will write a chapter of his new book every month and then present that chapter at various locations around Los Angeles. After the reading, the chapter will be ritually destroyed, and no textual or auditory documentation kept.

    Later, Katz's Deli will host a gathering to reconstruct the text using witness testimony from each event. The resulting communal manuscript will form the basis of the published book.

    All readings/performances will be held in publicly accessible locations and announced on a rolling basis. The project culminates with a brunch-event to be held in December of 2015.

    The next location is this weekend on saturday, September 26, 2015 at 7:30 PM in Indian Alley & These Days. 118 Winston St. 90013.

    Juárez-Style Burritos Have Arrived in Southern California, And They are Already Selling Out In Less than An Hour

    The month-old strip mall taquería in Anaheim make all their flour tortillas from scratch using both lard and butter, resulting in an extremely tender vehicle for their juicy guisados like carne en su jugo, carne deshebrada, chile colorado, chile relleno, and chicharrón.
