Mark Haber in Conversation With David Naimon
February 12, 2020 @ 7:30 pm - 8:30 pm
FreeIn a delightfully dense, fast-paced comedy with notes of László Krasznahorkai and Saul Bellow, Jacov and his scribe cross continents in search of the legendary prophet of melancholic philosophy. Jacov’s narcissistic preoccupation with melancholy consumes him, and as he desperately recounts the myth of his journey to his trusted but ailing scribe, hope for an encounter with the lost philosopher who holds the key to Jacov’s obsession seems increasingly unlikely. In Mark Haber’s antic debut, Reinhardt’s Garden (Coffee House), dark satire and skewed history converge. Haber will be joined in conversation by David Naimon, host of the Between the Covers podcast.
