Awwite.
Wasn't sure whether to put this in 'Books' or 'Gathering', but I figured as I'm not particularly asking for feedback, it's best here as a notice.
On Wednesday the 3rd of May, The Horse Hospital is presenting the official launch party for "The Romanian: Story of an Obsession", by acclaimed queer author, Bruce Benderson. He'll be present & will read selections from the work. There'll almost certainly be a Q&A too, which should be something. His interviews rock.
(Plus, he's slept with more than 4,000 men, so you figure that he's gotta be a pretty charming conversationalist.*)
Published in the UK by Snowbooks, this Prix de Flores-winning erotic memoir (released in France under the title, "Autobiographie Erotique" - he's the only American to win the Prix de Flores, incidentally) chronicles his nine-month affair in Romania with a straight hustler & is the first of the author's works to appear in the UK. I'm half-way though & it's great.
If you're not familiar with him, Benderson is a New York-based writer, critic & translator, author of "User", "Towards a New Degeneracy" & "Kyle", a Cruiser Classic pulp porno I pulled out of a second-hand bookshop in Greece about ten years ago, giving me a really memorable public boner experience. Great bookshop. They had werewolf porno too.
While on that note, please be aware that Lisa Carver from Suckdog, who was supposed to be coming, won't be able to make it.
Cheers!
