Beginning Sunday, April 13, and continuing nightly through Thursday, May 1, Los Angeles-based performance and visual artist Tim Youd will be airing interviews and retyping works by Stanley Elkin on WashU’s campus radio station KWUR 90.3.

The show will begin at midnight Sundays through Thursdays, 11:00 pm on Fridays, 10:00 pm on Saturdays. Each evening Youd will conduct one or two interviews of his own with various artists, writers, curators, critics, librarians, typewriter historians, typewriter repairmen, and astrologers. Following the interviews, Youd will play a short archival clip of Elkin himself reading from his novels, and then begin the evening's retyping—including Elkin’s novel The Dick Gibson Show (1971), followed by his short story collection Criers and Kibitzers, Kibitzers and Criers (1966)—and the sound of the typewriter alone will fill the airwaves until 5:00 am.

This performance is part of Youd's long-running 100 Novels Project. The retyping of The Dick Gibson Show will be the 84th novel he has retyped and is being done in conjunction with WashU Libraries, where the Stanley and Joan Elkin's Artistic Kingdom exhibition is currently on view in John M. Olin Library.
