previously unreleased material

I am doing a spoken word evening at The Good Ship at eight. I went last month as research and the main things I noticed were that everyone seemed extremely used to doing spoken word evenings, and that none of them were reading disconnected chunks of novel. Everything was coherent and complete. Thus, tonight, er...

I will do something from the book, but I am not yet sure how to give a sense of completeness. I might also read something new.

If I were Andrew Kaufman I could basically read all of All My Friends Are Superheroes, which you should also do, but not necessarily out loud.

Or read any of the zillions of short descriptions of superheroes therein. For instance:

THE PROJECTIONIST
The Projectionist can make you believe whatever she believes. If she believes interest rates are going to fall, and you have a short conversation with the Projectionsit, you will too. If she believes that no, in fact, you didn't signal when you turned left, causing the Projectionist to ram her car into the back of yours, so will you.
Her downfall began when she fell in love with the Inverse. She absolutely, 100% fell in love with the Inverse. She projected all this emotion onto him, but the Inverse, being the Inverse, simply reflected the opposite of everything she was sending.
Strangely, neither the Inverse nor the Projectionist can let go of the relationship.

THE CHIP
Chip was born with a chip on her shoulder. It's an immensely heavy chip, a chip that weighs so much it forced her to develop superhuman strength. But the chip on Chip's shoulder weighs so much that only her super-strength could remove it, but she can't use her super-strength until she gets rid of the chip and she can't get rid of the chip without using her super-strength. She appears no stronger than any regular.
