Poet, fiction writer, scholar, and BAP blog contributor Mitch Sisskind will make a rare east coast visit to read at KGB Bar on Monday night. Mitch Sisskind is a licenced gemologist from Chicago. He is the author of two books of short fiction, Visitations and Dog Man Stories. He edits The Stud Duck, a literary magazine. Mitch has been called "one of the funniest writer in America" (Michael Silverblatt, Bookworm, WKCR). Mitch Sisskind is also a maverick scholar. In Divine Deception: The Inner Gender of Gender (Earl University Press) he unravels the secret hoaxes that have masked the sexuality of many authors of Western Literature-from the Bible to the internet. Mitch has been called "one of the funniest writer in America" (Michael Silverblatt, Bookworm, WKCR). Listen to his fascinating Bookworm (WKCR) interview here.
