Porter Square Books: Neil Miller, Kartchner Caverns (September 18 v 19:00)
"One comes away from Miller's page-turner with a reverence, almost an unalloyed love for Tenen, Tufts, and the Kartchner family that owned the land under which the young spelunkers discovered the cave."Tuscon Weekly Kartchner Caverns tells the story of two young spelunkers, just out of the University ...

The book is a non-fiction narrative, extensively researched, that brings to life an important piece of contemporary Western history. It is an adventure story, a character study of two eco-heroes, and a chronicle of the triumph of the environmental approach in a corner of the natural world where pillage, not preservation, had been the norm. Neil Miller teaches journalism and nonfiction writing in the English department at Tufts University in Medford, Massachusetts. He is a former staff writer at the Boston Phoenix. Miller is the author of five books, including Sex-Crime Panic: A Journey to the Paranoid Heart of the 1950s and Out of the Past: Gay and Lesbian History from 1869 to the Present.

Center for New Words: Queer and Catholic (September 19 v 19:00)
Amie Evans and others číta od Queer and Catholic.
How does faith inform your sexuality? Queer and Catholic examines the culture of how being raised catholic informs and influences, positively or negatively, our queerness and how our queerness affects our Catholicism, our vestigial catholic nature or even our flight from and continued struggle with ... (viac)the ‘the Church of Rome.’ Whether we embrace or reject our Catholic upbringings, they affect and shape who we are and bump up against our queer identities. Examining the culture of Catholicism, rather than the dogma or letter of it, these essays and short stories do not seek to address whether or not queers and the Catholic Church can reconcile or how and why the church should change, but instead explore the impact that growing up Catholic and queer has on us as individuals, writers, and political agents. Join editor Amie M. Evans, and contributors: Austin J. Austin, Susan McDonough-Hintz, Mallory Hanora, Vince Sgambati, and Emanuel Xavier as they read from their contributions to the anthology with special guest Scott Pomfret.

Judith Nies číta od The Girl I Left Behind.
At the height of the Vietnam War protests, Judith Nies held “the most interesting job in Washington” as the chief staff assistant to a core group of anti-war congressmen. A graduate of John Hopkins School of Advance International Studies (SAIS) with an impressive international resume, Nies had everything ... (viac)she needed to succeed in Washington except for one obvious characteristic: she was the wrong gender. In The Girl I Left Behind: A Narrative History of the 1960’s and How Women Transformed America, Nies chronicles her struggle to cope with and finally overcome the limited opportunities for women in society and politics. Shocked to find herself the focus of an FBI investigation due to her political activities, Nies traded in her role as a dutiful wife and marginalized employee to become one of a growing number of brave women who carved out a new path toward social reform.
