Here are two videos of me reading at Hugo House from my memoir, And Now We Are Going to Have a Party. The first piece is the story of how the 4-yr-old me got the name No-Panta Griffith and stopped believing in fairies:
This second story is about being sixteen and finally falling in love (and lust):
Many thanks to David Wulzen for the wonderful camera work.
Wonderful readings, Nicola. The second video was just lovely and heartbreaking.>>I’ve requested a review copy of your memoir from P&S to review for The Internet Review of Science Fiction, but haven’t heard back from them yet. Hopefully soon.
Thanks. First love is always heartbreaking. Sigh.>>If you don’t hear back from P&S, let me know, okay?
You betcha. I’m not sure how willing they’ll be to send a review copy, since it was a limited edition, and not cheap (plus shipping to Singapore has gotten pricey), but I mentioned working something out where I at least can get a discount on it. It’s such a remarkable box set, and so beautifully presented, and I haven’t even seen it in person yet. :)>>Also, very big congratulations on winning the Lambda!
Brilliant>>I will be requesting my local independant, Glad Day Bookshop, order copies. They already have Always and Stay, but need the memoir. >>Loved the tight camera angle accentuating the intimacy of the story.>>Sumner
I’m delighted you liked it.>>Glad Day is in Toronto, right? When you talk to the buyer, let them know they’ll probably have to deal directly with the publisher, < HREF="http://www.payseurandschmidt.com/catalog.html" REL="nofollow">Payseur and Schmidt<> because I’m not sure they have a distributor. Also, please feel free to mention the fact that next month I have an essay coming out in a fab queer studies book, < HREF="http://www.amazon.com/Queer-Universes-Sexualities-Liverpool-University/dp/1846311357" REL="nofollow">Queer Universes<>, ed. Pearson, Hollinger, Gordon (Liverpool University Press, UK, but distributed by University of Chicago in the US–dunno about Canada), co-written with Kelley.
