SUMMARY:Meat for Tea Author Reading with Andrew Varnon
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this special event — A Meat for Tea author reading with Andrew Varnon! Andrew will read his essay “The Other Side of the Net”. This event is drop-in.  \nIn “The Other Side of the Net\,” writer Andrew Varnon imagines playing tennis with the ghost of David Foster Wallace\, the author of the monumental novel Infinite Jest. Wallace committed suicide in 2008\, but has a devoted following of readers and fans. In his essay\, Varnon describes how he came to read Wallace’s novel Infinite Jest through his interest in tennis. The novel is partially set at the fictional Enfield Tennis Academy in Massachusetts. In the tennis community\, Wallace is also known for his essay on tennis icon Roger Federer\, “Both Flesh and Not\,” and is widely credited with the appellation for tennis as “chess on the run.” In his essay\, Varnon engages Wallace’s writing style – complete with end notes – and explores the idea of how the activity of reading and writing is\, in fact\, like playing tennis. \nWriter and teacher Andrew Varnon lives in Greenfield with his wife and family. He is the boys tennis coach at Greenfield High School and an active recreational tennis player. He is also a journalist and an award-winning poet. “The Other Side of the Net” was originally published online at The Smart Set (www.thesmartset.com/the-other-side-of-the-net/) and was republished locally in Meat for Tea. Varnon presented a portion of his essay to the David Foster Wallace Conference in Normal\, Illinois\, this June.
