Resisting Queer Assimilation" due out this Fall.


hosted by michelle tea.


reading followed by questions and answers and cookies.
it goes like this:

you, the audience, ask an intelligent and perhaps even
witty--no pressure--question.
the brainy and charming writers respond.
i, the hostess, deliver you a home-made cookie.
everybody wins.
