Steven Lee Beeber March 26, 2008

Boston-based author and Atlanta expatriate Steven Lee Beeber returns to A Cappella Books to read from a new anthology on insomnia (edited by Beeber), titled AWAKE! A Reader for the Sleepless (Soft Skull Press). AWAKE! is THE book to read when you cant sleep. Stories, essays, poems, and even photos and commix are all combined to offer a night time companion for the sleep impaired. Contributors include Margaret Atwood, Gary Lucas, Lydia Lunch, Joyce Carol Oates, Neal Pollack, Jonathan Messinger, Davy Rothbart, John Sayles and many more.
We will also celebrate the paperback release of Mr. Beebers book that studies the NewYork Jewish origins of punk rock, The Heebie-Jeebies at CBGB's: A Secret History of Jewish Punk.
Local actors will also be on hand to read selections from both books, accompanied by the ambient junkyard sounds of Hubcap City
Beeber is a freelance writer of fiction and non-fiction. He has written for The Paris Review, Fiction, Conduit, The New York Times, Mojo, Spin, and elsewhere. His website is www.jewpunk.com.
