Books Reading Tonight: Cambodian Grrrl
Posted by Alison Hallett on Tue, Sep 20, 2011 at 11:59 AM
Tonight at Reading Frenzy, former Punk Planet editor Anne Elizabeth Moore reads from Cambodian Grrrl, a book documenting her experiences teaching self-publishing at a women's college in Cambodia.
Sarah Mirk says:
Anne Elizabeth Moore is an experienced activist, adventurer, and zinester. But she finds herself in over her head when she signs up to teach self-publishing to teenage girls at one of Cambodia's only women's colleges. The result is Cambodian Grrrl, a book of diary-journalism with Moore trying to make sense of the scarred history of Cambodia's recent genocide, all while living with and learning from the gaggle of ambitious, bright-eyed, and giggly first-generation university girls.
Read the whole thing.
Tonight at Reading Frenzy, 921 SW Oak, 7 pm
