On Saturday, April 12th at 4 PM (at our Frankfort Ave store), Carmichael's welcomes independent journalist and blogger Kelly Cogswell for a reading from and signing of her new book "Eating Fire : My Life as a Lesbian Avenger." At once streetwise and wistful, "Eating Fire" is a witty and urgent coming-of-age memoir spanning two decades, from the Culture War of the early 1990s to the War on Terror. Cogswell's story is an engaging blend of picaresque adventure, how-to activist handbook, and rigorous inquiry into questions of identity, resistance, and citizenship. It is also a compelling, personal recollection of friendships and fallings-out and of finding true love--several times over. We hope you'll be able to join us!
