Craig Willse author of Providence in conversation with Toshio Meronek An introverted English professor's quiet life gets turned upside down when he falls for a dangerous, enigmatic sophomore. Mark Lausson has everything he thought he wanted: a coveted job at elite Sawyer College in Ohio. But at the start of his second year, stuck in a small town with deadlines piling up and paychecks falling short, Mark can already feel the fantasy crumbling. And then, a few weeks in, sophomore Tyler Cunningham shows up in class. In Tyler--confident, mysterious, and popular--Mark glimpses another way of being in the world. He finds Tyler's self-possession both compelling and unsettling. Caught in the rush of sex and secrets, Mark ignores the increasing evidence that Tyler can't be trusted. But by the time Mark comes to his senses, the irreparable damage is done. Complicating easy ideas of innocence, Providence explores the ways loneliness and desire distort our senses of self and other, right and wrong.

Peaches Christ in conversation with A. Ashley Hoff author of With Love, Mommie Dearest In this outrageously entertaining expose, Hoff brilliantly disentangles the glamorous mess of Hollywood narcissism without ever losing sight of the abused child at the center of it all. A compelling archeological dig into the hysterical and too often horrifying history of Mommie Dearest--the book, the movie, the monsters. --Ann Magnuson, artist, actress, writer

SLUTS Anthology Release Party
Thursday, May 9th - 7pm Boyfriends masquerade as straight bros to have fun on an early internet porn site. Sex on Viagra; sex on acid. A lesbian bar sells out, turning barflies into doms for hire. In Spain, an exchange student lets two young men flip a coin to see who will have her. A stranger on a train. A collegiate lesbian ‘it’ couple. A trans woman bashes back. Post- apocalyptic punk crushes. Slut eras. An American intellectual in Austria fucks and talks attachment styles with a Viennese queer. A jaded Black queen ponders race, apps and
what the sex we have says about us. Taking us from the awkwardness of middle school to the transcendence of a sex club. SLUTS: Anthology presents an inspiringly diverse collection of writing – fiction and non- fiction, pro and con, philosophical and compulsive – exploring the eternally controversial word. Whether an insult or badge of honor, an identity or a state of mind, SLUTS engages some of the hottest minds of the moment to riff on the subject, exploring the nature of desire and its cultural consequences, creating a collection bound to become a classic of sex writing.

If you want to schedule a reading or book release party, email Becka. Please note: we concentrate on LGBTQ+ titles, but do make exceptions. Just FYI, we tend to do well with essay collections, novels, memoirs, and history, and less well with self-help books, academic titles, and poetry. We All events must be scheduled at least 6 weeks in advance and (since we do not have a public rest room) readings should last no longer than 90 minutes. Also, we don't do events on Fridays and Saturdays.
Please note: we truly wish we could host everyone who wants to hold an event here. Alas, there are simply too many wonderful authors with wonderful books for us to accommodate all the requests we receive. Thanks for understanding!
