It’s now summer. It’s now July. The first of 2017 is behind us. The first of the year in the Los Angeles literary community is now only memories. Now we begin July with #90x90LA, 90 consecutive days of literary programming through out L.A., brought to the city by Chiwan and Judith Oden Choi and the entire Writ Large Press Family.
Starting July 5 and running until Oct. 1, downtown’s Writ Large Press will present 90 events in 90 days, a marathon of literary happenings that remains in flux. While the July schedule is posted, August and September events are still taking shape, but this ambitious undertaking is also fluid in another way: Like any live, collaborative effort, it will take on a life of its own as determined by its artists and participants, an exciting variable that its organizers embrace.
