Seven years ago in Brooklyn, New York, the performance artist known as Death Bear was making the round his helping the brokenhearted.
In this week's essay, Lauren Berlin writes about what it was like to invite death Bear into her friend's home.
Rai Russo, young, director of the film before I fall, reads us Lauren's essay, Death Bear will see you now.
Sunday morning, we sat at Diana's Dinette table in Parkslope, Brooklyn, waiting for death Bear.
We considered making him breakfast but decided not to, thinking he would probably just come in, take the stuff, and leave.
We waited.
You think he'll talk to us?
I asked.
It said in the email that he will talk, but that he will only speak to you as death bear.
We waited some more.
Then Diana received the text message announcing his arrival.
He's downstairs.
She shrieked.
Death Bear is downstairs.
Oh my God.
