The Intertextual Self: New Approaches to Memoir
December 5, 2024 | 7 p.m. (eastern)
Memoirists most often focus on the authenticity of their own voice and experience, and how best to render on the page the intersection of memory and current insight. But a new approach seems to be emerging, one in which writers grapple with other texts to interpret their own lives. This event features three daring writers who have taken this approach to their memoirs: Chris Campanioni in A and B and Also Nothing (2nd ed.), Tyler Mills in The Bomb Cloud, and Leah Souffrant in Entanglements. Hear them read and perform as part of a multi-media event, followed by an engaging discussion.
David Lauterstein, Sodomy Gods
December 5, 2024 | 7 p.m. (eastern)
David Lauterstein is among the most influential forces in queer culture, celebrated as an unapologetic champion for sex-positivity since co-founding the iconic Nasty Pig fashion brand in 1994. Now, in his bestselling memoir, Sodomy Gods, he tells his raw, provocative, and unflinchingly honest coming-of-age story — one of finding his way in the dizzying world of 1990s New York City as the high-energy club scene confronts the devastating reality of AIDS. He will read from his book, a moving time capsule from one generation to the next, followed by a meet and greet and book signing.
