Sex, Death, A Book Tour, & A Reckoning!
SUSIE BRIGHT AMERICAN TOUR: SPRING 2011
Big Sex Little Death:
A Memoir
A Reckoning
Dear Friends,
I've finished my memoir after three years— Big Sex Little Death — and I'm ready to come out of my bat-cave.
WHAT'S IT ABOUT?
"Guns, drugs, threesomes, socialist factionalism, a stabbing... all before she got her G.E.D.? —I have a very scary feeling Susie Bright is not making any of this up."
I'll be touring all over the country, and there's nothing I'd like more than to see you, hug you, and share my baby.
Details and destinations below.
SAMPLES FROM THE BOOK
- Read my Introduction to the strange state of women's memoirs

"Susie is a one-woman counterculture...
She recounts a life full of political and erotic adventures and betrayals, a life at once deeply subversive and totally American, defined by the idea that people should be free to express and pursue their own visions of happiness, no matter how uncomfortable it makes the prigs and scolds among us."

Details on How To Purchase Books:
Every independent bookstore you see linked on this page sells my hardback, and many of them do ebooks, too. Amazon has the Kindle version, the hardback, and exclusive audiobook. B&N has a "Nook" version as well as the hardback. In other words, you can find it everywhere, and be able to support the retailers you like.
