Author Mark Brennan Rosenberg's unprecedented 40-city book tour includes two stops on Santa Monica Boulevard in West Hollywood this evening—a 6:30 p.m. reading from his critically acclaimed book of essays, Blackouts and Breakdowns, at PAR, followed by an afterparty at Forbidden Bar at 10:30 p.m.
Currently one of the only first-time LGBT authors to do a book tour of this size, Rosenberg is targeting hotspots in each town he goes to in order to get the entire community involved.
Blackouts and Breakdowns is described as a "no holds barred look into the life of a twenty-something very gay, very fabulous, very alcoholic young man."

The book is made up of 11 short stories, ranging from teenagers stealing nativity scenes off of stranger’s lawns to attempting to pick up a deaf guy in a bar by pretending to know sign language.
