Slam poet and Emmy-winning actor Amber Tamblyn will read from her new cross-genre thriller, Any Man. This blazingly original novel brings to startling life a specter of sexual violence in the shadowy form of Maude, a serial female rapist who preys on men.
"An explosive, shapeshifting piece of literary real estate, Amber Tamblyn's arresting debut offers a scathing portrait of American celebrity culture and the way in which it transmutes human tragedy into a vicious circus." —Janet Fitch
