Steven Estok & Chris Sullivan
This monthly Paragraph reading series features the writing of its members. Join us for outstanding writing by Steven Estok and Chris Sullivan. Free and open to the public.
Steven Estok had the great fortune to be born in a year deemed extraordinary for Bordeaux. This dictated his fate as both a Franco- and oenophile. He diligently practiced his French and red wine drinking during an undergraduate year in Montpellier, France and later perfected both while completing an M.A. degree through Middlebury College's program in Paris. In May, he will receive an M.F.A. in Fiction Writing from the New School. He is working on a novel set in Paris as well as a collection of short stories entitled Nikology
.Chris Sullivan's writing has appeared in or on McSweeney's, Me Three, 10003, Haypenny, Farmhouse Magazine, Mr. Beller's Neighborhood and, inexplicably, Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul IV, even though Chris hates chicken soup, teenagers, and their souls. He is a former editor of CANON, the magazine of the Graduate Faculty at The New School and also a former winner of the New York Press Association award for humorous column writing. His sketch comedy group, Party Hall for Rent, has performed at the Upright Citizens Brigade and the Gene Frankel Theater and Chris has also performed stand-up at a number of venues, including Stand Up NY, where he once bombed twenty minutes before Chris Rock unexpectedly took the stage. One guess as to whether he tells people he's opened for Chris Rock. He is currently working on his first novel and a collection of short stories.
