MIT Writers presents . . .
An evening with
Barry Yourgrau
Thursday, February 10, 2000 - 7:00 pm
MIT Bartos Auditorium, 20 Ames Street, Cambridge
 Yourgrau will read from his new book Haunted Traveller (published in 1999 by Arcade Publising, New York). He will also show a 15-minute video clip from his movie The Sadness of Sex in which he starred with Peta Wilson (TV's "La Femme Nikita").
"Haunted Traveller is wildly inventive, vivid in language, beautifully written, with each short chapter a one man, one act stage performance."
- Alan Lightman
Author of Good Benito and Einstein's Dreams

BARRY YOURGRAU
Fiction Writer and Performer
 Over the years, South-African born Yourgrau has developed a cult following from his spoken-word performances on MTV Unplugged, MTV Artbreaks and the Ha! Channel; on NPR's "All Things Considered," "Weekend Edition," and "Anthem" - and at clubs, small theaters and colleges, east coast and west, particularly LunaPark in Los Angeles and Fez in New York. He has received a Drama-Logue Award for writing and performing and three New York State Fiction Fellkowships. His work has been widely published and anthologized; his reviews and articles have appeared in The New York Times, The NY Times Book Review, Salon, New York, Los Angeles Times, Spin, Travel & Leisure, Artforum, Glamour, Nerve and Self.
He lives in New York, with a strange nostalgia for his couple of years in Los Angeles.
