Join DOPAMINE Books author Clement Goldberg as they read from their debut novel, New Mistakes, and discuss cats, plants, aliens, love, sex and art with Detransition, Baby author Torrey Peters. Hosted by Publisher and author Michelle Tea.

In New Mistakes, classic human follies of desire and ambition foreground a revelatory awakening the planet needs. UFOs, cat influencers, telepathic houseplants; sex and drugs and art. By turns tender and hilarious, visionary and perceptive, New Mistakes wittily shows us how we live today and how we might – astonishingly – live tomorrow.

This event will take place in person at the Bureau of General Services—Queer Division, on the second floor (room 210) of The LGBT Community Center, 208 W. 13th St., NYC, 10011.

Registration is not required. Seating is first come, first served.
