Where I Am In June
Jun. 6th, 2008 09:33 amI'm not actually part of many events this June. I'm a bad queer :) But I will be going to many shows!
I do, however, have two upcoming readings for Fucking Daphne:
June 17, 2008: Dual Book Release Party at City Lights Bookstore! 7 pm, 261 Columbus Avenue, SF. Free! (www.citylights.com)
This is a double trouble event celebrating the release of Fucking Daphne and Kissing Dead Girls. One is a kick-ass collection of poetry by Daphne Gottlieb; one is a collection of stories ("mostly true and fiction") about Daphne Gottlieb.
June 26, 2008: More Fucking Daphne at the Center for Sex and Culture! 8pm, 1519 Mission, SF. Free! (www.sexandculture.org)
So, is my story "mostly true" or "fiction"? Come to the reading and find out!
These readings will be the first time you'll have a chance to hear the story I wrote, "Kiss and Tell," btw. It's full of surprises (really!), plus I'm rather fond of it, too, so if you're a fan, do come by :)
P.S. I love this blurb for the book:
"When Daphne Gottlieb first found herself the character in someone else’s story she was intrigued; over time, as she appeared in more and more stories, she started to wonder about the implications of what was real and what wasn’t. Did it matter that there were published stories of her having sex in bathrooms, vacant parking lots, on the balcony at a party in an old bordello? Did it matter whether or not they were true?
This question sparked the idea for Fucking Daphne, a collection that blurs the lines between reality and fiction and begs the question “who is the real Daphne?” A pill-popping wild child? A soft place to fall with a broken heart? A dreadlocked vixen?
Contributors include Hanne Blank, Stephen Elliot, Sarah Katherine Lewis, and Ariel Gore, who describe, watch, and engage with a character that is not Daphne Gottlieb; Daphne is a projection, a fantasy, a zeitgeist. We are all a multitude of people in bed. We are all Daphne.
Harnessing the playfulness of the hoax, the seductiveness of literature, and the edginess of the avant-garde, Fucking Daphne is unique in a culture hungry for sex, information, and most of all, understanding."
Yeah, that's about right.
