Little Lisa Marie: A Reading From An Afternoon With Julie

A few months after Julie’s1 death, her writing colleagues held An Afternoon With Julie, a convocation honoring her work.

At that time, Sharon Solwitz, an award-winning, extraordinarily talented writer who also led a workshop in which Julie participated, gave a reading of Little Lisa Marie. The audio portion (extracted from the video tape taken at An Afternoon With Julie) can be played below.

The first portion of the audio may be difficult to understand but the quality improves with the first 1-2 minutes. Because of the length of the reading, I’ve broken it down into segments.

The manuscript of the short story, Little Lisa Marie, can be read or downloaded

Little Lisa Marie: A Short Story By Julie Showalter

I’ve made another of Julie’s1 short stories available below. The warning I have previously provided (i.e., That while Julie herself was sweet & funny, her short stories are made of sterner stuff) is especially pertinent to Little Lisa Marie.

Tomorrow (Sunday, 21 May 2006), I plan to post the audio file of Sharon Solwitz, an award-winning, extraordinarily talented writer reading this same short story, Little Lisa Marie. I personally found reading Little Lisa Marie and hearing it read two moving but different experiences. I also think Sharon’s opening comments about Julie’s refusal to compromise the characterization of the narrator are particularly insightful.
