Book Launch and subsequent tour for new queer book.

Editor Matt Bernstein Sycamore (aka Mattilda) will be launching the new anthology That's Revolting! Queer Strageies for Resisting Assimilation in two events this week in San Francisco. The first will be on Wednesday at 6 pm at the Main San Francisco Public Library, and the second will be on Thursday at 7 pm at City Lights Books in North Beach.

The book explores dimensions of queer politics beyond and even in opposition to mainstream currents of gay action. Subsequently, Mattilda will be embarking on a lengthy book tour.
