Cynthia Carr, under the by-line C. Carr, was for many years a senior critic and columnist for The Village Voice, specializing in performance art and experimental theater. Carr last visited Hallwalls on November 6th, 1988 (24 years ago this month) as a featured presenter in the first biannual Ways In Being Gay festival, and delivered a talk entitled GREAT MOMENTS IN SPECTATING: QUEER THEATER, RONALD REAGAN, & THE GREAT WALL OF CHINA. Tonight Carr will read from her critically-acclaimed 2012 biography Fire in the Belly: The Life and Times of David Wojnarowicz (Bloomsbury), and give a presentation on the artist's work based on her research. (Wojnarowicz himself performed at Hallwalls with musician Ben Neill in the second Ways In Being Gay festival in 1990, in a performance entitled ITSOFOMO—In the Shadow of Forward Motion.) Talking Leaves…Books will provide books for purchase and signing following the author's presentation.
