SUMMARY:Bureau at Second Tuesday Lecture Series for Tom Spanbauer Reading from "I Loved You More"
DESCRIPTION:The Bureau will be on hand selling copies of Tom Spanbauer‘s I Loved You More at his reading at The Second Tuesday Lecture Series at The LGBT Center in NYC. \nReserve a copy of the book in advance by contacting Greg Newton at contact@bgsqd.com. \nDoors open at 6:30 pm\, talk at 7:00 pm (until 9:00 pm) \nTom Spanbauer is the critically acclaimed author of four bestselling LGBTQ novels and a noted writing teacher. As a writer he has explored issues of race\, sexual identity\, and the new families that we create for ourselves to surmount the families that we were born into. \nTom Spanbauer’s first novel in seven years is a love triangle with a gay main character who charms both gays and straights. I Loved You More is a rich tale of love\, sex\, and heartbreak\, covering twenty-five years in the life of a emotionally wounded writer. \nIn New York\, Ben forms a bond of love with his macho friend and foil\, Hank. Years later in Portland\, a struggling and ill Ben falls for Ruth\, who provides care and devotion but cannot fulfill all of his needs. The real trouble starts when Hank reappears and meets Ruth. Set against a world of struggling artists\, the underground sex scene of New York in the 1980s\, and the confining Idaho of Ben’s youth\, I Loved You More is the author’s most breathtaking and graphic novel. \nThe trailer for I Loved You More is available on YouTube: www.youtu.be/D0lB7DBD6HU \nTom Spanbauer is the founder of the “Dangerous Writing” method that\, like his novels\, combines a fresh and lyrical prose style with solid storytelling. His students include Chuck Palahniuk (Fight Club\, Invisible Monsters\, and Choke)\, Monica Drake\, and Stevan Allred.\nTom Spanbauer lives in Portland\, Oregon where he teaches. In addition to his new novel\, his award-winning books include Faraway Places\, The Man Who Fell In Love With The Moon\, In The City Of Shy Hunters\, and Now Is The Hour. You can find more information about Mr. Spanbauer at his personal website: www.TomSpanbauer.com. \nMore information and pre-registration available here. \nABOUT THE SECOND TUESDAY LECTURE SERIES \nThe Second Tuesday Lecture Series is the longest running program at The LGBT Center.
