The Mama ‘Mama:’
Caught Ariel Gore’s reading at Modern Time Books this evening, from her new memoir Atlas of the Human Heart. Gore is the founder and publisher of Hip Mama, a longstanding feminist publication that advocates for the relevance, importance and hipness of moms. Atlas is about the year Gore spent in China when she was 16. Great writing and a sharp, cool ear for dialogue. Highly recommended.
Oh and if you can catch her while she’s on tour, she’s got a whole little road show going on, with two poets, a guitarist and a shadow puppet show. An A+ hour of entertaiment.
