I had the chance to attend both book fairs mentioned in my last post. I went the Anarchist Book Fair first. There's much radical literature here, some of it very good. I believe that, if all these folks can find some common ground and work together, can implement change in the country. I am impressed with the number of publishers and presses which cater to the radical and counterculture side.
After hanging out in Washington Square Park for awhile, I rode the subway to the upper west side to attend the Rainbow Book Fair. Publishers, authors, and presses in the TGLBQ communities are featured here. Being gender variant I wasn't going to miss this event. I chatted with a few of the authors and vendors and discovered some very creative and intelligent people who are proud of who they are. I saw a couple of books I wanted to purchase but was short o funds. I'll order them from their publishers in a couple of weeks.
