Your memories of August Shipwreck will be a source of wisdom, but
also pain. In honor of the film, we're taking on Lois Lowry's The Giver.
Good theatre for bad literature? Marital aid for book nerds?
A literary erotic fanfiction competition for the ages?
Shipwreck is all of these things.
Six Great Writers will destroy one Great Book, one Great Character
at a time, in service of the transcendent and the profane (and also
laughs). Marvel as beloved characters are plucked from their
worlds and made to do stuff they were never meant to do
in places they were never meant to see.
You choose the best Ship. The winning writer chooses their character
for the next Shipwreck, and returns to defend their title.
All stories will be recited by Shakespearean Thespian in Residence,
Sir Steven Westdahl, from his private chamber at Booksmith Castle,
both to preserve the majesty of the written work and to ensure the
honesty of the audience when voting for a winner.
This month's talent: Na'amen Tilahun, Deborah Kenmore, Tara
Marsden, June winner Maggie Tokuda-Hall, July winner Gabriel Cubbage, and special guest MARA WILSON
