If you’re in Boston next Friday, and you don’t have plans for 7 PM, head over to Lorem Ipsum Books in Cambridge, where a couple GMP contributors will be giving a reading. And if you do have plans, cancel them and go to this. Jeremy Adam Smith, a regular GMP’er, and Tomas Moniz (“Beautiful on All Sides“) will be joining Steve Almond, author of Candyfreak and a contributor to the Good Men Project book, for the reading.
Here’s the full announcement:
Boston Rad Dad Reading with Steve Almond, Tomas Moniz, and Jeremy Adam Smith
When: Friday, September 16 · 7:00pm – 10:00pm
Where: Lorem Ipsum Books, 1299 Cambridge Street, Cambridge, Massachusetts
Candyfreak author Steve Almond joins Tomas Moniz and Jeremy Adam Smith to read from their new anthology Rad Dad: Dispatches from the Frontiers of Fatherhood. “If buying a gender-neutral pacifier is the most radical thing you’ve done as a parent, Rad Dad will nudge you back on track,” says the SF Weekly.
Steve Almond lives in the Boston area with his beautiful and endlessly patient wife, Erin, and their chocolate addicts-in-training children, Josie and Judah. He’s also written some books: Candyfreak; My Life in Heavy Metal; Rock n Roll Will Save Your Life; and The Evil BB Chow.
Tomas edits and writes for the zine Rad Dad, which won a Best of the Bay award from the San Francisco Bay Guardian and an Independent Press Award for Best Zine. He lives with two amazing daughters, a bunch of chickens, bees, a cat and dog in south Berkeley.
Jeremy Adam Smith is the father of Liko, age 7; author of The Daddy Shift; coeditor of Rad Dad: Dispatches from the Frontiers of Fatherhood; founder of the acclaimed blog Daddy Dialectic; and a 2010–11 John S. Knight Journalism Fellow at Stanford University.
