St. Louis author Susan McBride tells the story of three women who aren't about to run and hide just because the world says they should be on the shelf and out of circulation in The Cougar Club. Kat, who loses her high-powered advertising job and catches her live-in lover in compromising position with his comupter, believes that aging gracefully isn't about giving up; it's about living life with your engine on overdrive. Kat, along with Carla, and Elise--the unofficial Cougar Club--quickly learn three things about survival of the fittest in today's youth obsessed society: true friendship never dies, the only way to live is real, and you're never too old to follow your heart. | 2

Carol Denker found love in her 60s and realized romantic love really is timeless. She also realized that there was little in our society to reflect that truth. No images of older couples in love! Too few stories about how wonderful it could be! So Carol traveled the U.S. to interview and photograph people who had found transformative love after midlife. The results can now be seen in her beautiful and inspiring book, Autumn Romance. Join LBB in welcoming Carol Denker and some of the people from her book (including two of LBB's favorite people, Nanka Castulik and Bob Byrne). | 3

Created as a poetic and visual journey, Touchless Automatic Wonder spans twenty-five years and four continents. These striking photographs capture "found text": the sometimes mysterious, occasionally humorous, often cryptic presence of words in the everyday landscape. In Lewis Koch's lyrical sequencing, the images reveal obscure and eccesntric voices in their various and distinctive roles on the daily stage of the world around us. This intriguing approach at the intersection of language, image, and the social landscape will appeal to readers interested in contemporary art and photography, popular culture, and conceptual concerns both literary and visual. | 5

Join us for a film screening of RIOT ACTS, a full-length documentary representing the whole lives of transgender and gender variant musicians, through a first-hand perspective of the intersections between gender performance and stage performance. This feature-length documentary highlights issues crucial to interviewees such as songwriting, voice presentation, presenting a body/bodies on stage, audiences, venues, the idea of the spectacle, media representation, performing gender and theories about "drag," and the personal as political. The film culminates with the notion that identities and bodies are undeniably political, and that the trans experience isn't always one of tragedy, but one of creativity and joy. The film's producer Simon Strikeback--a former member of the Bent Boyz drag troupe in St. Louis--will do a Q&A following the screening. |
