Bear Bergman – The Nearest Exit May Be Behind You

Posted on October 1, 2009 by admin| Leave a comment
Multiple award-winning writer, performer, gender-jammer and instigator S Bear Bergman returns to Columbus after a two year hiatus with hir new book, The Nearest Exit May Be Behind You.
Alternately unsettling and affirming, devastating and delicious, The Nearest Exit May Be Behind You is a new collection of essays on gender and identity that’s irrevocably honest and endlessly illuminating. With humour and grace, Bergman spins stories from women’s spaces to the old boys’ network, from gay male bathhouses to lesbian potlucks, from being a child to preparing to have one; and throughout shows just what kind of things you learn when you’re visibly queer to the naked eye.

As usual, expect digressions, jokes, off-label stories, time for questions and reckless flirting.

Date:
Tuesday, October 13, 2009

Time:
7:30pm, doors open at 7pm

Location:
Club Diversity, 863 S High St Columbus, OH

Cost:
Pay What You Can, suggested donation $10. No one will be turned away for lack of funds.

Can I Bring My…?
Dog: No.
Kid: No.
Folks: Yes.
