Jennifer Finney Boylan, author of "SHE'S NOT THERE: A Life in Two Genders," will be at USM/L-A Thursday, December 2nd to read from her book, recently released in paperback by Broadway Books.

Boylan's memoir chronicles the evolution of James Boylan, a English professor at Colby College and a married father of two, into Jennifer Boylan, now co chair of the English department at Colby. Her book is a sensitive examination of the issues of sex, love, gender and family, and has an afterword written by author Richard Russo.

Boylan's reading is co-sponsored by LAC, the Women's Studies Program, and the Center for Sexualities & Gender Diversity. The event is free and open to the public and will be held in Room 170 from 4:00 - 5:15 p.m. Her book will be available for sale at the event and light refreshments will be served.
