Yes Means Yes!
Hi all,
As some of you may know, I recently contributed an essay called "Why Nice Guys Finish Last" to the anthology Yes Means Yes!: Visions of Female Sexual Power and a World Without Rape, edited by Jaclyn Friedman and Jessica Valenti. It's a really amazing collection, so I highly encourage you to check it out!
For those of you who are interested, you have a couple of opportunities in the next week or so to hear a little bit more about the book:
1) today (Wednesday, April 29) Jill Filipovic and I about will be interviewed about our respective Yes Means Yes essays on KPFA (a Berkeley public radio station). The show is called Against the Grain, it will take place between 12-1pm Pacific time. You can either listen live on the web at kpfa.org, or you might be able to find it archived for a period of time on the Against the Grain website. You can also obtain it by subscribing to the Against the Grain podcast...
2) next week there will be two Bay Area Yes Means Yes! book readings! I will be appearing at both:
Thursday, May 7, 7:30 pm at Modern Times, 888 Valencia in San Francisco
Saturday, May 9, 7:30 pm at Pegasus Downtown 2349 Shattuck in Berkeley
hope you can make it!
