X

The Trident Live Art Series presents Stephen Hastings-King’s X, a contemporary work of fiction staged as a reading with audio and visual elements.

X is the story of a parasite in forty parts. It was constructed as a series of inversions. X is circular, without beginning or end. X is a situation put into motion. It would work its way into your head.

Stephen Hastings-King lives by a salt marsh in Essex, Massachusetts, where he makes constraints, works with prepared piano, and writes entertainments of various kinds. His short fictions have appeared in Sleepingfish, Black Warrior Review, elimae and elsewhere.
