Thursday, May 27, Lambda Literary Awards master of ceremonies comedian Eddie Sarfaty will grudgingly, briefly, hilariously share the SVA stage in NYC with pioneer award winners Kate Clinton and Larry Kramer, as well as the inspiring slew of presenters just announced: Cheryl B., Rachel Kramer Bussel, Peter Cameron, Dudley Clendinen, Teresa Decrescenzo, Katherine V. Forrest, Joseph Hardy, William Johnson, Saeed Jones, Arthur Levine, Pauline Park, Radclyffe, Diane Salvatore, Sarah Schulman, Will Schwalbe, Jenny Shimizu (pictured), Michelangelo Signorile, Bob Smith, Cecilia Tan, Linda Villarosa, and the newly out new memoirist Chely Wright
(who will be on Oprah May 19).
It's by far the biggest night in gay books and it can't happen without your support. Please consider buying a ticket to the awards. The afterparty is hosted by a literary gay couple who always throw a terrific good time. Full details here.
Even if you can't attend the event, there's an opportunity through the link provided above to make a contribution to support Lambda Literary Awards, so that there can be many more Big Nights in Gay Books. I just did, in honor of Stephen Bottum and Band of Thebes.
