Spent a lovely evening hearing Casey McQuiston and Meryl Wilsner discuss sluts (affectionate), sweaty travel (derogatory), and being yourself (affectionate).

FREE IN-PERSON READING & SIGNING!

Come catch me at Bookshop Santa Cruz for a reading, signing, and Q&A on Thursday, January 4th, 2024 from 7:00 to 8:30 PM! I'll be talking about monsters, queer Judaism, and the weird journey I took to get to this anniversary edition of my debut short story collection. We'll have print copies of both Something's Not Right and Exhaustively as well as a real smorgasbord of transsexual stickers and some free bookmarks to boot! RSVP and please SHARE THIS POST with anyone you know in the area who might be interested in turning out for queer Jewish monsters. Bonus: the event page features a truly choice Lemony-Snicket-goes-transsexual author photo. Go ahead and check it out.

See me! Buy stickers!

FYI FOR SEATTLEITES: I will be at the Sugarwall Gallery THIS FRIDAY selling and signing books at TEASE: a playful erotic art show.

I will also be selling some fresh sticker designs, as well as a few reprints of my old burlesque designs. This is my very first in-person author event, and I'm really excited about it!

Hope to see you there!

Never in my wildest dreams did I think that a Pulitzer Prize winner would call my book "filthy, dirty, disgusting* - and it would be the best compliment.

Did you miss my livestream interview with Ink@84 Books and wish you hadn't? Fear not, you can still catch it on demand! For a limited time a ticket purchase (£5, worldwide) will get you access to the recording, which you can watch any darn time you please. I talk about making Worst Journey Vol.1 (including parts of the process you haven't seen elsewhere) and there's a generous Q&A section at the end. People have told me they like it -- maybe you will too!

Local Author Event: Seattle Samurai

Kelly Goto's new book, Seattle Samurai: A Cartoonist's Perspective of the Japanese American Experience, is a commemoration of the life and work of not just her father, but also the early Japanese immigrants of Seattle and those who came after. This beautiful coffee table book celebrates the art and life of Kelly's father, Sam Goto, and features many strips from his 2012-2018 comic strip Seattle Tomodachi, alongside gorgeous photography. Sam was a longtime Seattle and Mercer Island resident and began Seattle Tomodachi at the encouragement of his wife, Dee, as a way to help fund the Japanese Community and Cultural Center of Washington's (JCCCW) weekly ad in The North American Post, Seattle's Japanese American newspaper. Now, Kelly is releasing this book as a way to honor her father and his part in Seattle history.

Seattle Tomodachi is a must-read for those interested in the history of the Japanese community in Seattle and the wider Pacific Northwest. The comic follows the fictional Shigeru Tomo (influenced by the life of real Shigeru Osawa, believed to be the first second-generation Japanese born in Seattle) as he strives to live the samurai way. Shigeru's adventures are also inspired by Sam's own experiences and those of Seattle's Japanese American community: the building and funding of the new Japanese Language School in downtown, the importance of Japanese merchants in the Klondike Goldrush, the founding of Uwajimaya (one of my favorite stores to visit for a wander), the discrimination many Japanese American's faced. Full of the values that Sam believed in and passed down to his children, this book exemplifies the joy that Sam lived his life with.

Join us and local author Kelly Goto on Wednesday, October 23 from 6:30 to 8:00pm, to celebrate the launch of her book, Seattle Samurai: A Cartoonist's Perspective of the Japanese American Experience. We can't wait to celebrate with these Mercer Island residents and longtime friends of the bookstore! Books can be purchased beforehand or at the event, and Kelly will be signing after discussing the book with us. Drinks and appetizers will be available, and proceeds from book sales will be donated to the JCCCW.
