David Bergman // Gay American Autobiography: From Whitman to Sedaris

Tuesday, 27 October 2009
7:00 PM - 9:00 PM

Exploring 150 years of gay American autobiography, David Bergman's new book, From Whitman to Sedaris is surprisingly the first book of its kind.  In his book, Bergman chronicles a variety of experiences including autobiographical work by science fiction author, Samuel Delany, performance artist Justin Chin amongst 19th-century literary figures Henry David Thoreau, Walt Whitman and Henry James.  Bergman was and is a pioneer of the LGBT program at Towson University, a founder of the LGBT studies program and associated with the LGBT center on campus.  His new book adds much to the growing literature on LGBT experience.  

 This is another one of those times when we at Red Emma's are stoked to be in Baltimore so we can host David Bergman for what is sure to be a lovely and engaging evening.  We'd be thrilled if you'd join us!
