王越想对你们说的话： “你路过我，靠近我，听过我，了解我，或许还是带着很多问号，这个专场是我真诚的邀请，我把我讲给你听。 每个人都是少数，当你悄悄决定成为什么样的人，那一个瞬间，你就是宇宙的唯一。 我不需要别人理解，也不需要自己和解。多数事情到最后不过是轻舟已过万重山，再回想起，也只是一句淡淡的“算了”。 我不代表任何人，我只是我自己，每个鲜活的人，背后都是一部电影，是无数个瞬间和感受，把这个人锤打成了现在的样子，哭笑不得的每一天，都会变成过去的一天。接纳当下的自己，才是好好爱自己。” 请不要担心，这里的一切都向快乐出发。“谁的身体都有些故事”，有一栋独属于王越的阁楼，这次开放了钥匙。 剧场见！ Information Source: 抗通胀喜剧 ANTI-INFLATION COMEDY | eventbrite

Sunny's Bookshop - Located inside our floral shop Shades of Petals (Tarzana, CA) Join us to celebrate the LA Book Launch of Ashley Whitaker's debut novel BITTER TEXAS HONEY! Ashley will be in conversation with Anna Dorn and Nora Lange for this special night of reading, signing, and Q&A. ABOUT BITTER TEXAS HONEY The Royal TenenbaumsmeetsFleabagin this hilarious and dizzyingly smart debut about an over-the-top evangelical Texan family—and the daughter at its center racing to finish her very important novel before her ex-boyfriend finishes his. It’s 2011, and twenty-three-year-old Joan West is not like the rest of her liberal peers in Austin, nor is she quite like her Tea Party Republican, God-loving family. Sure, she listens to conservative talk radio on her way to and from her internship at the Capitol. But she was once an America-hating leftist who kissed girls at parties, refused to shave, and had plenty of emotionless sex with jazz school friends—that is until a drug-induced mania forced her to return to her senses. But above all Joan is a writer, an artist, or at least she desperately wants to be. Always in search of inspiration for her novel, she catalogs every detail of her relationships with men—including with her former muse slash current arch nemesis Roberto—and mines her very dysfunctional family for material. But when her beloved, credit card debt–racked cousin Wyatt finds himself in crisis, Joan’s worldview is cracked open and everything comes crashing down. Funny, whip-smart, and often tender, Bitter Texas Honey introduces us to the unforgettable and indefatigable Joan West: ambitious, full of contradictions, utterly herself. As she wades through it all—addiction, politics, loss, and, notably, her father’s string of increasingly bizarre girlfriends—we witness her confront what it means to be a person, and an artist, in the world. ABOUT ASHLEY WHITAKER Ashley Whitaker is a writer from Texas. She received an MFA from the Helen Zell Writers’ Program at the University of Michigan. Her work has appeared in Tin House, and she’s had a residency at Ragdale. She lives in Austin with her husband and children. ABOUT ANNA DORN Anna Dorn is the author of the novels Perfume and Pain, Exalted, and Vagablonde. She was a Lambda Literary Fellow and Exalted was a finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize. Her next novel American Spirits is forthcoming in 2026. She lives in Los Angeles. ABOUT NORA LANGE Nora Lange’s short writing has appeared in BOMB, Hazlitt, Joyland, American Short Fiction, Denver Quarterly, HTMLGiant, The Fairy Tale Review, and elsewhere. She has received fellowships from Brown University and is a fellow at the Los Angeles Institute of the Humanities. Us Fools is her first novel. Information Source: Sunny's Bookshop | eventbrite
