Sex & Monkeys: Kerry Cohen, Leanne Grabel, and John Dooley

Mother Foucault's Bookshop 523 SE Morrison St, Portland, OR, United States

Join us on Saturday, March 16 at 8 pm (late start) for Sex & Monkeys, a triple-tiered lit-fit, featuring three of Oregon’s uniquely distinctive writers. Witness the literary luxury of an independent bookstore!

The title is an esoterically metaphorical expression meant to attract attendees. However, bananas will be available. Kerry Cohen is the author of Loose Girl: A Memoir of Promiscuity, Lush: A Memoir, and 10 more books, and she’s been featured on The Today Show, Good Morning America, and Dr. Phil.
