The Rest of August Highlights


Sexography: A triumphant tale of survival and the journey to finding one's self


Author Carly Milne reads from her newest book

Friday, August 22
8:00 PM to 10:00 PM (doors open at 7:30)

$10 includes $10 credit toward entry to Spin next door.


By turns serious and playful, Sexography maps the coming of age, tragedy and rebirth of one woman's sexual self. From "making out" with imaginary Hollywood stars in her closet (and getting busted) to coming to terms with abuse, assault and rape, from embracing her curiosity enough to become a sex toy tester to accepting and dealing with her tumultuous past, Milne paints both an honest and amusing picture of what it's like to learn about and experience sex in every sense of the word.

From the earliest experiences in her childhood homes in Edmonton and Calgary, Alberta, to present-day Los Angeles, Milne guides readers through the troubled waters of female sexuality with a mixture of candor and humor. Whether you've been through similar experiences or just know someone who has, Sexography will change your mind about why and how survivors survive.

Come join Carly for an interactive reading event where she'll read excerpts from the book, encourage you to share some of your own, and engage us all in a discussion about both the good and bad of sexuality... and how we can grow from it.

About Carly Milne:
