Orbit Anthology Book Signing

What do Susan Sarandon, Christopher Walken, and Detroit’s very own Jerry Vile all have in common? They all starred in the 1982 adaptation of Kurt Vonnegut’s “Who Am I This Time?” on PBS. So how did Vile — better known as frontman for punk band the Boners and editor of the long-defunct humor magazine Orbit — wind up on PBS? It’s one of the many strange tales recounted in The Orbit Magazine Anthology, a new retrospective out now on Wayne State University Press. Following a screening of the episode, Vile and author Rob St. Mary will be on-hand to sign copies of the book and engage in what is sure to be a weird Q&A session.
