Lexa performs at Parlour 153

Lexa Roséan performed Cedars of Lebanon, the latest chapter of her novel in progress Spinoza’s Daughter, an irreverent, sexy, and sacred tale set in NYC in the late 1970’s. Israel has just invaded southern Lebanon. As Jews and Arabs go to war, our Jewish (albeit ex-communicated) heroine makes love to the Muslim boys in a desperate attempt to lose her virginity and save her soul.

Lexa created a summer storm of laughter and insight with her brillant performance/reading. Parlour 153 was able to introduce her work to a new audience. The afternoon turned on her inspiration and caught members in the beginnings of tango.
