Episode 1: Jedediah Berry and The Family Arcana

Our first in a series of short previews for Live Arts Magazine on October 23rd. Jedediah Berry is author of "The Family Arcana: A Story in Cards", and will be performing excerpts from his latest work at the Academy of Music in Northampton later this month. Printed on a deck of playing cards, this gothic fable tells of a sprawling family fighting to preserve itself against the wiles of the knavish bank people—and against its own deep-buried secrets. Illustrations by local artist Eben Kling, with music composed by The Suitcase Junket.
