SUMMARY:Book launch: LOOK WHO’S MORPHING by Tom Cho and AFTER DELORES (25th Anniversary Edition) by Sarah Schulman
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the dual book launch of Look Who’s Morphing by Tom Cho and After Delores (25th Anniversary Edition) by Sarah Schulman. \nSpecial guest Sassafras Lowrey also reads from hir novel Roving Pack. \nLOOK WHO’S MORPHING (Arsenal Pulp Press):\nFirst published to great acclaim in Australia\, writer Tom Cho’s Look Who’s Morphing is a fresh\, hilarious\, and dazzingly contemporary collection of micro-fictions that explore the slipperiness of identity\, race\, and gender. \nLike a mad-cap version of Kafka’s The Metamorphosis set against the last 40 years of pop culture\, each story in the collection features Cho’s narrator morphing into various familiar and iconic cultural figures from sitcoms\, Hollywood movies\, anime\, music videos\, Saturday-morning cartoons\, daytime TV talk shows\, Nintendo games\, and literature. \nAFTER DELORES (Arsenal Pulp Press):\nIn this new edition of Sarah Schulman’s acclaimed 1988 novel\, the unnamed narrator is a no-nonsense coffee-shop waitress in New York’s bohemian Lower East Side who is nursing a broken heart after her girlfriend Dolores leaves her for another woman. This hilarious\, unpredictable\, sexy novel is a fast-paced flashback to the storefronts\, underground clubs\, and back alleys of the Lower East Side’s lesbian subculture in the 1980s―an electrifying chronicle of New York life featuring an edgy and totally original heroine. Includes a new introduction by Sarah Schulman. \nROVING PACK (Pomo Freakshow):\nClick\, a straight-edge transgender kid\, is searching for hir place within a pack of newly sober gender rebels in the dilapidated punk houses of Portland\, Oregon circa 2002. Ze embarks on a dizzying whirlwind of leather\, sex\, hormones\, house parties\, and protests until hir gender fluidity takes an unexpected turn and the pack is sent reeling.www.RovingPack.com \nTOM CHO is a fiction writer whose work has appeared widely\, including in such publications as The Best Australian Stories series\, Asia Literary Review and The New Quarterly.
