SUMMARY:Bureau Book Club #2: Zipper Mouth by Laurie Weeks
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe Bureau Book Club is a home for freewheeling discussion about the books and the issues that captivate us. Inspired by the conversations that break out after so many of the Bureau’s more formal events\, we’ll have a one-hour session each month about a different work of fiction or non-fiction. Buy the book from the Bureau and get a 10% discount. We know you have busy lives: if you can’t finish the whole book\, why not come and talk about the parts you’ve read? Just come prepared with a favorite quote. The Book Club discussions will be moderated by Ben Miller. \nThis month’s book will be Laurie Weeks‘ novel Zipper Mouth. Its publisher\, The Feminist Press\, calls out its “ranting letters to Judy Davis and Sylvia Plath\, an unrequited fixation on a straight best friend\, exalted nightclub epiphanies\, devastating morning-after hangovers.” Michelle Tea calls it “a brilliant rabbit hole of pitch-black hilarity…and drugs\, drugs\, drugs.” What could be better for August? \n———– \nBen Miller is a Brooklyn-based writer. Current projects include award-winning biographical research on early gay activist Harry Hay that has taken him to archives in California and conferences from Pennsylvania to New Mexico\, an adaptation of an early Mozart libretto for performance at Carnegie Hall\, serving as dramaturg for Circuit Theatre Company’s production of The Walk Across America for Mother Earth\, and new short fiction influenced by his historical research. His teachers in history and writing have included Linda Gordon\, K. Kevyne Baar\, Marcelle Clements\, and Jonathan Safran Foer. Ben is the winner of New York University’s Bessie and Louis Levy Prize for Excellence in American History\, and was named Steffi Berne Research Scholar in the Humanities by the same institution. He is a co-founder of Squid Ink Magazine (launching soon)\, works as Web Associate at the Lambda Legal Defense and Education Fund\, and serves on the communications committee of the New York City LGBT Anti-Violence Project. He tweets @benwritesthings. \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:DEADLINE: Works-in-Progress from Cutting-edge Queer Artists AUGUST EDITION! w/Kelli Dunham\, Kevin Ritter\, Julie Aslop\, Ariel Speedwagon and Sabrina Chap
DESCRIPTION:Post-Clown Disaster\, Ariel Federow and Cabaret Idiot\, Sabrina Chap bring you this new works-in-progress series featuring new work from cutting edge queer artists. Built on the notion that there’s no greater inspiration than a deadline\, this series forces renegade artists to bring new and developing work to an audiencefor the first time. Part experimentation + part guaranteed failure = 100% awesomeness. \nPRESENTING—————-—- \nSTAND UP/COMEDY STORYTELLING by KELLI DUNHAM!\n“The piece is ostensibly about my botched knee replacement but really about trauma and how it gets stored in your body and how you can still learn to read your body’s signals.” \nPERFORMANCE ARTIST – KEVIN RITTER!!\n“”Kevin Ritter Plays Kevin Ritter” takes the subject of four people named Kevin Ritter: Kevin Ritter\, the German; Kevin Ritter\, the baseball coach; Kevin Ritter\, the kitchen designer; and Kevin Ritter\, the performance artist. This piece explores identity through mimicry\, video\, and original writing. A meditation in the form of a refracted palindrome.” \nPERFORMANCE POET\, JULIE ASLOP!!\n“Susan\, Susie and Suzanne are three versions of the same person. Their alter-realities begin slipping together when each receives a mysterious package The piece explores the political implications of boredom alongside themes of sexual and economic violence.” \nMUSICAL BOOK REVIEW BY SABRINA CHAP\nSabrina Chap will do a musical book review of Madison Young’s new memoir\, “Daddy”.\n***************************** \nAriel “Speedwagon” Federow‘s work has been seen on Broadway\, Lafayette\, Houston\, Chrystie\, Fulton\, N 6th\, and other streets and avenue in NYC and beyond. Her stories\, slideshows and slapstick have been seen places like LaMama ETC\, Dixon Place\, the Hemispheric Institute for Performance and Politics\, Pussy Faggot\, and Hey Queen! Company member: the Ballez and Butch Burlesque. \nDeemed\, ‘Rousing!’ by the New Yorker\, Sabrina Chap is a writer\, musician\, cabaret artist and all around dilettante. Her latest album\, the anthemic queer bonanza ‘We Are the Parade’ was deemed\, ‘Joyous’ by the Advocate. She also edited the book\, ‘Live Through This- On Creativity and Self-Destruction’\, now with an intro by Amanda Palmer and essays by Nan Goldin\, bell hooks\, Swoon\, Kate Bornstein and more. sabrinachap.com \nKelli Dunham [https://kellidunham.com/] is the genderqueer nurse-comic-author-ex-nun hybrid so common in modern Brooklyn. Kelli was one of Velvet Park Magazine’s 25 Significant Women of 2011\, was named to the 2012 Campus Pride Hotlist and has appeared on Showtime and the Discovery Channel and nationwide at colleges\, prides\, fundraisers and even the occasional livestock auction. Kelli’s fifth book\, Freak of Nurture [https://freakofnurture.org/] a collection of humorous essays published by Topside Press caused award-winning author Barbara Carellas to give Kelli the moniker “the David Sedaris of the queer world.” \nJulie Alsop is a poet working in radio. Sometimes she has a Canadian accent. \nKevin Ritter is a queer playwright and performer. His performances include Lawn Play\, Rebecca and Jeremiah: The Strange (Semi-Finalist\, Indie Boots Theater Festival\, 2013)\, The Cosmos (performed at Cleveland Public Theatre’s “Pandemonium” benefit\, September 2013)\, Leave ‘Em Fallin’ Down\, and Erato: a tragedy perhaps.

SUMMARY:Judy Garland on Judy Garland: Interviews and Encounters
DESCRIPTION:  \nRandy L. Schmidt will present and sign copies of his new book in the “Musicians in Their Own Words” series from Chicago Review Press Judy Garland on Judy Garland: Interviews and Encounters.\n\nReception at 7 \nReading at 7:30\n  \nABOUT THE BOOK: “It’s going to be one hell of a great—everlastingly great—book with humor\, tears\, fun\, emotion\, and love\,” Judy Garland said of her plans to tell her life story. But she died at the age of forty-seven before seeing it through. Judy Garland on Judy Garland is the closest we will likely come to experiencing and exploring the legend’s abandoned autobiography. Collecting and presenting the most important Garland interviews and encounters that took place between 1935 and 1969\, this work opens with her first radio appearance under contract with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and concludes with her last known interview\, one taped for Radio Denmark just months before her death. What makes this collection unique and distinguishes it from the plethora of Garland biographies is that it places Judy in the role of storyteller. She wrote a number of essays for various publications and sat for countless print\, radio\, and television interviews. These and the other autobiographical efforts she made are proof that Judy Garland wanted her story told\, and wanted it told in her own words. Finally\, here it is.\n\n\n  \n\n\nRandy L. Schmidt is the author of the acclaimed bestselling biography Little Girl Blue: The Life of Karen Carpenter and the editor of Yesterday Once More: The Carpenters Reader. He has also written articles for the Advocate and the Observer. He lives in Denton\, Texas\n\n\n \n \n \n

DESCRIPTION:Post-Clown Disaster\, Ariel Federow and Cabaret Idiot\, Sabrina Chap bring you this new works-in-progress series featuring new work from cutting edge queer artists. Built on the notion that there’s no greater inspiration than a deadline\, this series forces renegade artists to bring new and developing work to an audience for the first time. Part experimentation + part guaranteed failure = 100% awesomeness. \nCheck out this article on the August edition of Deadline in Next Magazine: “BGSQD’s Deadline Gives Queer Artists Room To Create And Grow” by Chris Hernandez \nThe September edition will feature performances by SABINA IBARROLA\, AVERI DYLAN\, MARIANA VALENCIA\, & QUITO ZIEGLER! \n  \nSABINA IBARROLA: Sabina is a performance artist\, activist\, and troublemaker.

Averi has performed at various open mics in New York including the Inspired Word NYC\, Portraits of Poetry where she has been the feature poet\, Urban Juke Joint\, Green Earth Poets Cafe\, and at Sarah Lawrence College. Averi has won a qualifying spot in the Inspired Word NYC poetry slam to compete in a year end final competition in December 2014\, and has had poetry published in the New York Times.

SUMMARY:Peter Cameron and Benjamin Taylor discuss Totempole
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, September 18\, at 7 p.m.\, join Peter Cameron and Benjamin Taylor for a discussion of Totempole by Sanford Friedman. This event is taking place on the occasion of New York Review Book‘s re-publishing of Totempole\, originally published in 1965. \nTotempole is a coming-of-age story that traces the life of a young Jewish boy growing up in New York City from two-year-old boy to twenty-four-year-old man. As Peter Cameron writes in the book’s afterword\, “Totempole is an unusual gay novel: It isn’t about life in the closet\, and it isn’t about coming out. It’s about the space in between those two stages of gay life\, a complex and murky area that has not often been written about: coming out to oneself.” \n  \nBorn in New York City\, Sanford Friedman (1928–2010) was a novelist\, playwright\, and theater producer who taught writing at Juilliard and SAGE (Services and Advocacy for GLBT Elders). He served as a military police officer in Korea from 1951 to 1953\, where he earned a Bronze Star. He is the author of several novels\, including Conversations with Beethoven\, published for the first time and now available from NYRB Classics. \n  \nPeter Cameron\, photograph by Lisbeth Salas\nPeter Cameron is the author of several novels\, including The City of Your Final Destination\, Someday This Pain Will Be Useful To You\, and\, most recently\, Coral Glynn. He lives in New York City\, and publishes limited-edition books at Shrinking Violet Press. \n  \n \nBenjamin Taylor is the author of two novels\, Tales Out of School and The Book of Getting Even. His most recent book is a travel memoir\, Naples Declared: A Walk Around the Bay. He was a Guggenheim Fellow in 2012 and next year will publish Proust: The Future’s Secret\, a biography for Yale’s Jewish Lives series. He lives in New York City. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Kevin Scott Hall – A Quarter Inch from My Heart A Reading\, Discussion\, and Q&A about the Book
DESCRIPTION:Kevin Scott Hall’s second book\, the stunningly candid memoir A Quarter Inch from My Heart\, has been getting some buzz since its June release. Hall has appeared on about ten blog radio shows (hear the best ones one his website\, www.kevinscotthall.com). \n  \nHall will give a reading and Q&A with award-winning writer/actor Ben Rimalower (Patti Issues\, Bad With Money) at  the Bureau on October 8th at 7:00 p.m. That date coincides with the 20th anniversary of his highly-publicized stabbing in October 1994—a compelling backstory in the memoir\, and from which the title comes. \nHall officially goes national in September with an appearance on “Seth Speaks\,” a talk show on Sirius XM Radio\, Wednesday\, September 17th\, 4:30-6:00 p.m. \n  \nAlthough Hall comes out in many ways with this book\, his story of what happened when he took in and cared for a mysterious stranger for two and a half years after Hurricane Katrina in 2005 defies categorization. In fact\, in interviews so far\, hosts have seen the complex and universal human story around issues of trust\, spirituality\, homelessness\, crime\, AIDS\, caregiving\, and race—and how love ultimately has the power to heal all wounds. As author Jocelyn Lieu says\, “I’ve never read a memoir like this before.” \n  \n \nKevin Scott Hall is a writer\, performer\, producer\, and master teacher. He earned his MFA in Creative Writing from The City College of New York. His vocal recordings include “New Light Dawning\,” and he published the novel Off the Charts! in 2010 and his memoir\, A Quarter Inch from My Heart\, in 2014. Hall writes a music column and entertainment features for Edge Media Network\, and freelances for other publications. He is an adjunct lecturer in writing\, speech\, and literature at two City University of New York campuses\, and teaches the art of cabaret singing on his own. Hall is a member of ASCAP\, the Bistro Awards Committee\, and Toastmasters International. He resides in Brooklyn\, New York. www.kevinscotthall.com \nTo find out more about the author\, go to www.kevinscotthall.com. For press inquiries\, please contact Boice-Terrel Allen at 412-606-6709 or rattlecat@yahoo.com. \nEarly praise for A Quarter Inch from My Heart: \n  \nA Quarter Inch From My Heart is a harrowing account of love and loss. Kevin Scott Hall writes about being young in New York City and reckoning with how we all must grow up by taking care of each other and ourselves. His memoir is not only about one life or even the defining\, complicated friendship at its center\, but about the universal project of being decent\, thoughtful citizens of the world. It is at once deeply introspective and outward reaching. \n– Rachel DeWoskin\, author of Foreign Babes in Beijing\, Repeat After Me\, and Blind! \n  \nKevin Scott Hall’s book is more than a book; it is an intimate letter of a young artist struggling with the peradventure of chance meetings and a relationship that would lead him to grow as an individual psychologically and spiritually.  Like all such letters the reader is drawn into the pathos of the naked emotion of life and love:  A growth from eros to phillios and further to the undeniable agape. If you have ever cared for a friend and come to see the holy in the other then this is a work that is a must read. \n— Fr Jeffrey L. Hamblin\, MD\, Bay Ridge Episcopal Church\, Brooklyn\, NY \n  \n  \nIn A Quarter Inch from My Heart Kevin Scott Hall explores his amazing love for a dazzling drifter\, Maurice\, the man who became his “prodigal brother”–and who leaves an indelible mark on Hall’s heart and the hearts of all who read this luminous\, unforgettable memoir about agape\, recovery\, and faith. \n  \n–Jocelyn Lieu (author of Potential Weapons and What Isn’t There) \n  \n  \nKevin Scott Hall’s memoir of an offbeat life and an inexplicable love offers consistently readable ups\, downs\, and—especially—curves that\, in the end\, offer life lessons in generosity\, persistence and redemption. \n–Robert Windeler\, noted critic\, and biographer (Shirley Temple\, Julie Andrews: A Life on Stage and Screen\, and Sweetheart: The Story of Mary Pickford\, among others) \n  \n  \n“…gritty\, sometimes horrifying\, but also absolutely triumphant after all is said and done. Where Hall’s genius for narrative lies\, as he equally proved in his novel Off the Charts!\, is in his character depictions…” \n  \nAndrew Martin\, NiteLife Exchange \n  \n“While the events of Kevin’s memoir are tragic\, the real draw is in his reactions to them\, presented in naked introspection. There’s a lack of pretense at internal continuity that makes this such an honest memoir. . . . He embraces his emotional fickle nature and lays it bare on the page . . . the raw emotions that guide his choices make him a deeply sympathetic narrator of his own life. . . . This is a book that made me feel as though I knew a person. . . . Worth reading to the end.” \n  \nAndrew Clunn\, Applause Applause \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Bureau Book Club #3: Bad Feminist by Roxane Gay
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe Bureau Book Club is a home for freewheeling discussion about the books and the issues that captivate us. Inspired by the conversations that break out after so many of the Bureau’s more formal events\, we’ll have a one-hour session each month about a different work of fiction or non-fiction. Buy the book from the Bureau and get a 10% discount. We know you have busy lives: if you can’t finish the whole book\, why not come and talk about the parts you’ve read? Just come prepared with a favorite quote. The Book Club discussions will be moderated by Ben Miller. \n\n““Pink is my favorite color. I used to say my favorite color was black to be cool\, but it is pink—all shades of pink. If I have an accessory\, it is probably pink. I read Vogue\, and I’m not doing it ironically\, though it might seem that way. I once live-tweeted the September issue.”\n\nFor October\, we’ll be reading a book of essays that has set both the blogs and the literary types abuzz: Roxane Gay‘s just-published New York Times best-seller Bad Feminist. Her publisher calls it “the journey of her evolution as a woman…a funny and spot-on look at the ways in which the culture we consume becomes who we are.” Gay’s shockingly powerful stories and novels\, her essays that mix high and low with ease and style\, and her active Twitter and Tumblr presences that explore her black and queer feminist identities make her one of today’s most celebrated emerging writers.\n  \n Purchase Bad Feminist from the Bureau before October 12th and receive a 10% discount!\n———– \nBen Miller is a Brooklyn-based writer. Current projects include award-winning biographical research on early gay activist Harry Hay that has taken him to archives in California and conferences from Pennsylvania to New Mexico\, an adaptation of an early Mozart libretto for performance at Carnegie Hall\, serving as dramaturg for Circuit Theatre Company’s production of The Walk Across America for Mother Earth\, and new short fiction influenced by his historical research. His teachers in history and writing have included Linda Gordon\, K. Kevyne Baar\, Marcelle Clements\, and Jonathan Safran Foer. Ben is the winner of New York University’s Bessie and Louis Levy Prize for Excellence in American History\, and was named Steffi Berne Research Scholar in the Humanities by the same institution. He is a co-founder of Squid Ink Magazine (launching soon)\, works as Web Associate at the Lambda Legal Defense and Education Fund\, and serves on the communications committee of the New York City LGBT Anti-Violence Project. He tweets @benwritesthings. \n  \n  \n
