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

Tamblyn is the author of Bang Ditto, Free Stallion, and the critically acclaimed Dark Sparkler. She has been nominated for Emmy, Golden Globe, and Independent Spirit awards. Tamblyn reviews books of poetry for Bust Magazine, is poet in residence at Amy Poehler's Smart Girls and is a contributing writer for The New York Times. She lives in Brooklyn with her husband and daughter. This event is not appropriate for children.
