I am having a book party on October 29 in Madison--to celebrate not only my own achievement, but the many friends and colleagues who have contributed as well. We will honor individuals who have helped with photographs, ideas, and editorial readings; the Helen Louise Allen Textile Collection, whose holdings are well represented in the illustrations; and other resources such as the university's African Studies program, that supplied many of the pictures.
The party will include a short reading; images from the book, projected large; textiles to look at,; refreshments..
This is an invitation event, but if you are nearby and love textiles and are interested in coming, please contact me (bgordon@wisc.edu) for details.
This is the blog for TEXTILES: THE WHOLE STORY. Originally I had conceived of the title as THE FIBER OF OUR LIVES: WHY TEXTILES MATTER -- and I still like that title because I think it really expresses what the book is about. I frequently use it in conversation and presentations.
