Britt Haraway, Tim Regan join forces on musical literary event
"....More than 20 years after they first met, Haraway and Regan are teaming up again this week for a unique reading of selections from Haraway’s debut book of short stories, "Early Men," published this summer by Lamar University Press. The reading Thursday at Bar DKDC, itself a unique venue for a literary event, will feature Haraway, an assistant professor at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley and fiction editor of the school’s arts journal, reading selections from his work interspersed with songs performed by Regan....Some of the songs Regan will perform Thursday are expressly suggested by the text, such as Morrissey’s “Now My Heart Is Full,” which figures prominently in the story “Lottie’s Dressing.” ...“I don’t think, as far as my own experience, that literature and music are very separate,” says Haraway. “I know from my own experience with the characters maybe you learn a little bit more about them by actually listening to, say, a Morrissey song, and maybe you understand a little bit more about why I chose that reference.”
