James Spooner's The High Desert: Black. Punk. Nowhere, is a formative coming-of-age graphic memoir by the creator of the award-winning documentary Afro-punk: a young man’s immersive reckoning with identity, racism, clumsy teen love and belonging in an isolated California desert, and a search for salvation and community through punk. In celebration of the book’s release, we’re hosting a reading and party that includes a mini-zine fest with local zine vendors and independent publications; live music performances by Los Angeles punk bands The Tissues and Dangers; and vegan tacos by feed the people los angeles.
