Burn Books Burn
The Scream Literary Festival has asked me to present original work with a bunch of other malcontent agitators before the screening of François Truffaut’s Fahrenheit 451, based on a Ray Bradbury book. My memory, though dim, is that Bradbury's writing was mediocre at best.
I'm digging up all sorts of interesting and disruptive information about what drove the author to write this treatise to the superiority of the male intellect, sadly brought down by the demands of special interests and the overwhelming desire men have to be nice. Serialized in Playboy.
Oh, yes. I'm going there, baby.

Description
“The books have nothing to say.”
– The Captain.
Ray Bradbury knew books were in threat of extinction long before the rest of us. Join several noted Toronto poets in the underground resistance at Toronto's classiest cult cinema, the Trash Palace, for short readings and a screening of François Truffaut’s Fahrenheit 451 (1966). Behold the dystopia that awaits us all in the post-lit world.
