OTHER UPCOMING EVENTS

THAT'S REVOLTING!
Friday, November 5 at 7 PM -- Mattilda, a.k.a. Matt Bernstein Sycamore, editor of That's Revolting! Queer Strategies for Resisting Assimilation, will read at Internationalist Books on October 5. That's Revolting! is both blueprint and call to action, bringing the post-identity politic of a new generation of queer visionaries to a wider audience. The anthology consists of personal histories, rants, interviews, conversations, activist struggles, practical advice and, of course glamour. Contributors include early gay liberation rabble-rousers, counterculture demons, fringe artistes, renegade academics, the dispossessed, the obsessed and various other enemy combatants.

GLOBALIZE LIBERATION with DAVID SOLNIT
Monday, November 8 at 7 PM -- Popular Education Theater and Discussion with Globalize Liberation Editor David Solnit -- an organizer of the successful shutdowns of the WTO in Seattle in 1999 and of San Francisco's financial district on March 20, 2003, after the US invaded Iraq; and a cofounder of Art and Revolution, which popularized street theater in mass actions across North America. <http://www.GlobalizeLiberation.org/>


NEW ARRIVALS

AMERICA: THE BOOK by Jon Stewart and writers of The Daily Show - I've never heard so much laughter in the store as I have since we've had this book on the shelves.

A CULTURAL HISTORY OF MASTURBATION by Thomas W. Laqueur - The book's range is vast. It begins with the prehistory of solitary sex in the Bible and ends with third-wave feminism, conceptual artists, and the Web. It explains how and why this humble and once obscure means of sexual gratification became the evil twin--or the perfect instance -- of the great virtues of modern humanity and commercial society: individual moral autonomy and privacy, creativity and the imagination, abundance and desire.
