Join us in the Reinberger Gallery for an evening with artist William E. Jones as he reads excerpts from his new novel, I’m Open to Anything.

A perverse and explicit new take on the coming of age novel, I’m Open to Anything explores bohemian Southern California in the late 1980s and early 90s before gentrification ruined everything.

His previous book, True Homosexual Experiences, a biography of Straight to Hell’s iconoclastic editor Boyd McDonald, celebrates the frank, raunchy language of the first queer ’zine. Jones brings the same unsparing and profane attitude to I’m Open to Anything.

Be sure to stick around after the reading for a special screening of Un Chant D’Amour (A Song of Love) at 7:15pm at the Cleveland Institute of Art Cinematheque (no one under 18 admitted).
