Hothead Paisan Book Launch & Conversation with Diane DiMassa

You’re invited to join us on Thursday, September 25, 6:30 pm for a conversation with artist and cartoonist, Diane DiMassa, and Alex Dueben, a freelance writer specializing in comics, poetry, books and art.

This fall, the New York Review of Books imprint is publishing a collection of Diane's 1990s comic "Hothead Paisan: Homicidal Lesbian Terrorist." It’s a book that sits at the intersection of riot grrl culture, the zine explosion, underground comics and queer culture.

"Hothead Paisan" is an icon of the ’90s lesbian DIY scene, a patron saint of those who wonder if going off the deep end is the only sane response to life in modern America.

Books will be available for purchase and signing on the night of the event.
