Nobody Was Afraid of Mattilda!



Last Sunday's 'very special episode' of homo-centric with Mattilda Bernstein Sycamore was a huge success!  We filled every chair, bench & footstool in the bookstore and had people leaning on bookshelves.  










Not only was there a great crowd but Stories sold every copy of Why Are Faggots So Afraid of Faggots?  Mattilda read excerpts by several contributors of the book, all of which made me want to read the book even more than I had before the reading.  






Mattilda was terrific, too-- engaging, energetic & effervescent.  The Q & A after was  also good and went on almost to closing time.  I'm asking Stories to order more copies of the book & will keep you posted when they arrive.  Here are a few photos of the evening I took with my not-so-smart phone.  If anyone else has photos, please let me know.  

Thanks again to Stories Books and a big huge homo-hug to Mattilda Bernstein Sycamore for a very special Sun-gay night!

what is homo-centric?

homo-centric is a monthly reading series curated by Hank Henderson. The series is hosted by Stories Books & Cafe in Echo Park and takes place the 3rd Thursday of every month. By offering this space for LGBTQI writers to gather & share their words we hope to create a renewed sense of community. There's a hunger for connection and a wonder about our collective history that needs to be nurtured and continued.
