Hannah Bonner (MFA, NWP) will discuss her new book Bree, a hybrid novella of "cinema fiction and creative criticism" written in the voice of the character Bree portrayed by Jane Fonda in Klute.

An arresting and elegant fictional memoir whose execution is as brilliant as its concept. I've never read anything like it. —Melissa Febos, national bestselling author of Girlhood and The Dry Season

In Klute, Bree Daniels became one of the most memorable voices in film noir. In Bree: An Autobiography, Hannah Bonner has become one of the most memorable voices in whatever genre this book has invented. A deft hybrid of film theory, fiction, memoir, and persona poetry, which stylishly combines Bree’s brio with Bonner’s own, the book delivers a virtuosic performance of ventriloquism and insight, projecting the reader deep inside the mind inside the screen. The result is more than a brilliant debut: it’s an instant classic of cinema fiction and creative criticism, to be shelved alongside works like Gabriel Blackwell’s Madeleine E. and Tisa Bryant’s Unexplained Presence. – Bennett Sims, author of Other Minds and Other Stories

Content warning: Klute includes sexual content, depictions of sex work, and stalking. Additionally, there is the visual and auditory depiction of violence against women. Please take care when choosing to attend the screening.
