Local authors release new tomes, The Day 02/26/2010
In Rick Koster’s roundup of books by local authors:
Our local writers have been busy – no doubt the bleak mid-winter affords plenty of time to wax inspirationally over a computer keyboard.
Here are some new publications from authors in the region. …
“Bisexual Perspectives on the Life and Work of Alfred C. Kinsey” by Ron J. Suresha (Routledge, 168 pages, $125) – This is a har[d]cover reissue – with new material – of the book nominated for the 2008 Lambda Awards for Excellence in Bisexual Literature.
Also a revised edition from Suresha: “Bears On Bears: Interviews and Discussion” (Lethe Press/Bear Bones, 328 pages, $25) – Five new interviews are included on this examination of a gay and bi men’s subculture.
Of course most of these books were not likely written during “the bleak mid-winter.” But it sounds romantic…

Bear Soup #63
Bear Soup #63, streams online tonight, Monday, January 4th, at 10:00pm Eastern & Pacific on BearRadio.net. Repeats Wednesday, same times. In this edition of Bear Soup:
- BEAR SOUP voted top US podcast in Best of the Bears 2009! Congrats to Bears in da City (Ozbears) for being the Best Bear Podcast/Blog votegetters. CompleteBear shrugs its furry shoulders and claims “voting irregularities” as if that was self-explanatory. Even if there isn’t a prize, award, sash, cash or tiara — isn’t something called “Best of the Bears” worth doing right, or at least very well? Maybe someone else should take a crack at it.
- The revised edition of Bears on Bears nominated for the Lammies. Support the Lambda Literary Foundation by becoming a member.
- Shoutouts, and the usual ursine audio mishmash. A delightful and safe New Year to everyone!
I’m cooking up something steamy . . . it’s a bubbling bowl of tasty tangy BEAR SOUP!
