About the Author: Jason Weiss was born and raised at the Jersey shore, schooled in Berkeley, spent a decade in Paris, and has been living in Brooklyn for 30+ years, working as a writer, editor, and translator. His first book was Writing at Risk: Interviews in Paris with Uncommon Writers (1991), followed by books on Brion Gysin, Steve Lacy, Latin American writers in Paris, and the ESP-Disk’ record label. He also published Cloud Therapy (2015), short nonfiction texts on swimming, and translated books by Luisa Futoransky, Marcel Cohen, and Silvina Ocampo. With Iris Cushing, he co-edited a big book of selected poems by the late California poet Mary Norbert Korte (1934-2022), Jumping into the American River (2023). About the Book: In Listenings, Weiss listens to the world breathing in this insightful, often humorous, personal journey. These adventures in listening to music (iconic Woodstock, live concerts, on the radio), nature, sounds in the bedroom, in the body, on the street, language in translation, overheard conversations, strangers and loved ones, living and dead, immerses readers in a smart, surprising, and timely exploration of the ways we listen to the world and ourselves. -Shay Youngblood, author of Black Girl in Paris Book Event - Saturday, September 7th at 7pm!
