Ready Set Readings: 
Mike Albo

Sunday, May 19th, 5pm

Very excited to bring READY SET READINGS back to Whitespace Gallery 15 years later for the paperback launch of Mike Albo’s beautiful book Another Dimension of Us! 

His book has been described as a thrilling science fiction story about teens from the past and future who travel to the astral plane to save the ones they love — and I’ll add that it’s about the magic hive of a library when you are a queer teen; the mind-opening power of poetry; and desire and identity across 1986 and 2044 and throughout the astral plane.

Thank you so much to everyone at Whitespace Gallery and to our friends at Lucian Books and Wine for being our bookstore partner for this event!

Mike Albo is the author of three novels, Hornito, considered one of the 50 Essential LGBT Works of Fiction by Flavorwire, and the cult classic The Underminer: The Best Friend Who Casually Destroys Your Life (written with Virginia Heffernan) and most recently Another Dimension of Us. His other works include the The Junket and Spermhood: Diary of a Donor.

He has written for the The New Yorker, New York Magazine, GQ, Departures, W Magazine, TED, Elle Decor, Southern Living, AARP and numerous other magazines and websites. He has written a horoscope column, a love advice column and was the Critical Shopper columnist for the New York Times. He has performed nine solo shows and comedy shows across the US, Canada, UK and Europe. His solo shows include Spermhood: Diary of a Donor and The Junket which ran Off-Broadway at the Lynn Redgrave Theater in 2014. He is also a part of the long-running comedy trio, Unitard, and the legendary dance collective, The Dazzle Dancers.

Selections of his performance work appear in Extreme Exposure: An Anthology Of Solo Performance Texts From The Twentieth Century (ed. by Jo Bonney).
