Jamie Brickhouse performs from and signs Dangerous When Wet
A two-time Moth StorySLAM winner and Literary Death Match champ, Jamie Brickhouse will perform stories from his critically-acclaimed first book, Dangerous When Wet: A Memoir of Booze, Sex, and My Mother, followed by a talk and Q&A. He has been published in the New York Times, Salon, Out, POZ, and is a guest blogger for the Huffington Post.
Mary Karr describes Dangerous When Wet as “a blisteringly funny, wrenching account of wrestling way too close to — and later loose from — booze, sex and drugs and his adorable, infuriating mother, [Mama Jean]. Believe me: the gator wranglers from his Texas backwater hometown have it way easier. It’s packed with multiple fine threads in a rich tapestry. Bravo!”
From the age of five all Brickhouse wanted was to be at a party with a drink in one hand and a cigarette in the other and all Mama Jean wanted was to keep him at that age, her Jamie doll forever. A Texan Elizabeth Taylor with the split personality of Auntie Mame and Mama Rose, always camera-ready and flamboyantly outspoken, Mama Jean haunted him his whole life, no matter how deep in booze he swam. “Glamorously tragic and howlingly funny (Entertainment Weekly), Dangerous When Wet is the unforgettable story of a unique relationship between a gay son and his mother.
