Lambda Rising is pleased to announce the appearance of Comedian Kate Clinton in the store! She'll be dropping in for a meet and greet on a Friday afternoon before her show at The Birchmere! About the Book: I Told You So is a hilarious, bittersweet, politically acute survival guide. In collected columns ... (more)and routines Clinton gleefully details personal coping techniques tested over a lifetime. They're perfectly suited for political and cultural upheaval: wildcatting for democracy, curbing your cynicism, and changing the climate. Read them and you'll never be voted off the island. I Told You So spans refreshingly disparate topics: sexual hypocrisy and gay marriage; 9/11 and its aftermath; girls gone wild and boys gone to war; Hillary Clinton and U.S. politics; baptism and waterboarding; as well as intelligent design and body shows; P-town and families of choice; and even bee colony and other collapses. As a humorist for over twenty-five years, Clinton believes that making light-light enough to see and light enough to move-is what sustains us. What unites the essays is a Möbius strip of humor intended not to dissipate outrage but rather to motivate action. About Kate: Kate Clinton is a faith-based, tax-paying, America-loving political humorist and family entertainer. With a career spanning over 28 years, Kate Clinton has worked through economic booms and busts, Disneyfication and Walmartization, gay movements and gay markets, lesbian chic and queer eyes, and EIGHT presidential inaugurals. She still believes that humor gets us through peacetime, wartime, scoundrel time and economic down times. Kate Clinton has held the mirror that reflects every single issue that has faced us for the last 25 years. We've laughed with her, we've cried with her, and we've been changed by her," said Kate Kendell, Executive Director of the National Center for Lesbian Rights.

What are the benefits and dangers of a confusion between the private creativity and the public career elements of a writer’s life caused by new media and a proliferation of “open channels”? What protective measures must a writer take to preserve his or her “self” in this environment? In addition ... (more)to the guerilla tactics implicit in storytelling through social media and other unconventional platforms, in what ways is a writer’s life now itself a story irrespective of intentional fictive storytelling? Examining these issues leads naturally to a discussion on the tension and cross-pollination between the private and public lives of writers in our transmedia age, including the strategies and tactics that best serve those who want to survive and flourish in this new environment. What are we losing, and what do we stand to gain?

S. Dillon Ripley Center - International Gallery - Smithsonian Institution: Byzantium: Rome's Lost Empire (December 2 at 6:45pm)
Lars Brownworth discusses Lost to the West.
In the 5th century B.C., the Roman Empire had two capitals: Rome and Constantinople. While Rome was invaded by barbarians, Constantinople endured for another thousand years. The Byzantine story is fraught with palace intrigue, glittering wealth, heroic leaders, and villainous scoundrels.Without the Byzantines, ... (more)the Renaissance would have been much poorer, as most of the writings from Greek and Roman antiquity flowed from Byzantine pens, and the field of philosophy would lack the foundations of Plato and much of Aristotle. Roman law was codified by a 6th-century Byzantine emperor, and the architecture of the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem and St.Mark's in Venice is based on Byzantine models. From public hospitals to walk-in clinics, female doctors, and subsidized health care, Constantinople bequeathed a towering legacy. Historian Lars Brownworth's book Lost to the West (Crown) is available for signing after the program.
