BOOKSMITH BOOKSWAP: Pride Edition
June means Pride, so get ready for our queerest Bookswap yet! Bring your favorite genre-bender: a queer book you love, a book by a queer author, a story you love illicitly - it all works. You'll talk about it in small groups, and at the end, we'll have a big, rowdy, white-elephant swap.
$25 gets you dinner, an open bar, a closed bookstore all to yourself (and 40 of your new friends), discounts, swag, and MORE.
Special Guests: MICHELLE TEA and ALI LIEBEGOTT!
Michelle Tea is the author of four memoirs, a novel, a book of poetry and the young adult fantasy tale, A Mermaid in Chelsea Creek, new from McSweeney's. She has edited anthologies about class, fashion and literature, and is Editor of the City Lights/Sister Spit series. Michelle is founder and Executive Director of RADAR Productions, a literary non-profit that oversees the Sister Spit international performance tours, the monthly RADAR Reading Series in San Francisco, the annual Radar LAB Retreat, and other programs.
Ali Liebegott is the author of the award-winning books The Beautifully Worthless and The IHOP Papers. In 2010 she took a train trip across America interviewing female poets for a project titled The Heart Has Many Doors; excerpts from these interviews are posted monthly on The Believer Logger. Along with a reprint of her road classic The Beautifully Worthless, her newest novel Cha-Ching! is the latest release from City Lights/Sister Spit. In addition, she is the founding editor at Writers Among Artists whose first publication, Faggot Dinosaur, was released in 2012.
