Release Party: Real Man Adventures by T Cooper December 2, 2012

Come celebrate the release of T Cooper's new book with performances inspired by the book by Hem, Geo Wyeth, Wingdale Community Singers (Rick Moody, Hannah marcus, & David Grubbs), and Dynasty Handbag.

Real Man Adventures is Cooper's brash, wildly inventive, and often comic exploration of the paradoxes and pleasures of masculinity. He takes us through his transition into identifying as male, and how he went on to marry his wife and become an adoring stepfather of two children. Alternately bemused and exasperated when he feels compelled to explain all this, Cooper never loses his sense of humor. "Ten Things People Assume I Understand About Women But Actually Don't," reads one chapter title, while another proffers: "Sometimes I Think the Whole of Modern History Can Be Explained by Testosterone."
