If this description of a book doesn't intrigue you, you have to be dead: Rachel Dewoskin went to China to work for an American PR firm and ended up as a Chinese soap opera star. She was the sexy American vixen on Foreign Babes In Beijing, the subject of her new book. Please ignore the very Sex and The City-aping cover; Columbia grad Ms. Dewoskin is an assistant poetry editor for BU's literary magazine AGNI and a writer, and the book's going to be interesting, funny, and sociological! Come see her read tonight at 7PM at the BU Bookstore below the Citgo sign. If your tastes lean more towards ye olde Victorian novels of intrigue and ambiguous sexuality, have tons of fun with songwriter Wesley Stace, nee John Wesley Harding, a British hottie of sound mind and song who's written a well reviewed first novel, Misfortune. You can drink with him at 7PM at Newtonville Books' venerable Books and Brew series, and hey, if you get him talking, maybe there'll be singing too! Get your knowledge on and meet some attractive writers. (Bostonist feels the need to mention that fact if it will get you out of the house!)
