Let’s explore literature and art together.
Christopher Frizzelle is the founder of FrizzLit. He writes all the posts on this stack. He’s an author, essayist, critic, reporter, and teacher.
From 2007 to 2016, he was editor-in-chief of The Stranger, where a story he edited won a Pulitzer Prize for Features. The Stranger’s art critic, whom he hired and also edited, was a Pulitzer finalist two years later in Criticism.
He created the Silent Reading Party at Hotel Sorrento in 2009.
In 2020, he created an online version of the reading party adapted to the pandemic—which the New York Times attended and called “mesmerizing.”
He also created the Quarantine Book Club, a Zoom-only happening that he describes in this essay for the Washington Post.
And he’s the co-host of the FrizzLit Podcast.
He writes occasional columns on books, culture, current events for this stack.
This also where exclusive videos documenting the highlights from the Zoom book clubs will be posted.
And it’s where we’ll talk about writing, ideas, inspiration, art, and the meaning of life.
Paid subscribers to this stack get in free — that’s right, FREE!! — to the virtual Silent Reading Party twice a month. No ticket-purchasing necessary.
Paid subscribers also find out before anyone else when new in-person Silent Reading Party tickets for the Sorrento go on sale. (It always sells out. Often months in advance.)
