Come to listen! Come to celebrate! Come to say hi because I’ve been absorbed in the wonder and weight and trembling life of all these testimonies and probably haven’t seen you!
I’ll post event links and share the full line-up of readers as the dates approach.
EARLY REVIEWS (!)
Nalebuff interjects frequently with commentary and anecdotes, artfully linking stories together . . . Bold and candid, these missives go a long way in breaking through what one contributor calls "the taboo of bleeding.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
A vibrant collection of stories evoking joy, dread, loss, and celebration that will resonate with many.—Library Journal
This trans-inclusive period anthology features prose, poems, and comics from a diverse group of contributors and will inspire conversation about menstruation and menstrual justice. This book is an invitation to reinvent your relationship with menstruation.—Mary Wahlmeier Bracciano, Children's Manager & Co-Owner, Raven Book Store
Pre-orders are so important for the life of a book. If you know you want a copy, thank you for your early support! You can pre-order the US edition here and the UK edition here, and of course make a request through your favorite local bookstore.
In a future newsletter, I will try to explain how life is circular and how this book is like the outer ring on a tree and here are the inner rings.
Here’s the back page from the first version of Our Red Book, a self-published oral history project made with my mom.
Thanks to so many of you for being with me this whole way.
