The Unbearables: Fales Archival Recital

The savvy New York band of satirists get their day at NYU's prestigious Fales Rare Book Library where Ron Kolm has deposited The Unbearables' collected writings, notebooks and videos as future research materials. NYU archivist Marvin Taylor gives the presiding speech.

“We, like Mr. Fales attempt to document what creative writing looks like, and to project what scholars will need in the future for research,” notes Director Taylor. The tradition goes on today, with an emphasis on writings emanating from New York City.
