Our Other Weapon Is A Zine - Zine Reading

Friday, June 11th 7pm Internationalist Books

Ker-bloom! and Rad Dad once again team up for a sizzling zine tour! In 2007 Artnoose and Tomas went up and down the West Coast performing dynamic reading of their respective zines, and now they're taking on some states in the middle.

Artnoose has been letterpress printing the zine Ker-bloom! since 1996 and currently lives in Pittsburgh PA.

Tomas Moniz edits the radical parenting zine Rad Dad and spends the rest of his time writing fiction, biking, and being a dad in Berkeley CA.

Join us at the Internationalist in welcoming gay vampire novelist Damian Serbu!

Damian Serbu lives in the Chicago area with his partner of seventeen years and two dogs. After earning a Ph.D. in history (2001), he now teaches at the collegiate level. His love for vampires – and all things horrific – fused together with his academic training to inspire his first novel, The Vampire’s Angel. A childhood nightmare led to his second novel, Secrets in the Attic, forthcoming summer 2010.

Following up on our exciting presentation and discussion by the authors of this book back in February, the Internationalist welcomes all interested in the recent riots in Greece to join us for a reading group to discuss "We Are an Image From the Future: The Greek Revolt of December 2008" (AK Press, 2010).

What causes a city, then a whole country, to explode? How did one neighborhood's outrage over the tragic death of one teenager transform itself into a generalized insurrection against State and capital, paralyzing an entire nation for a month?

Join us at Internationalist Books as we discuss Lierre Keith's controversial new book "The Vegetarian Myth: Food, Justice and Sustainability" (PM Press, 2009). Derrick Jensen says this book "saved his life", while Alice Walker calls it "one of the most important books we can read" - yet vegans delivered a cayenne-laced pie to the face of the author during her reading at the 2010 San Francisco Anarchist Bookfair! What's all the fuss about?
