Comedian Bob Smith wrote the novel Selfish and Perverse, about three gay men and a lesbian in Alaska and Los Angeles.
In the clip below, Smith reads a few Alaskan scenes from the book, and talks about the GLBT people he met here. The last scene is a great piece about salmon sex.
This isn’t a new video, but the novel is about GLBT characters in Alaska and is funny. I’m posting it now in honor of the summer’s low salmon runs.
The reading was taped at the National Lesbian and Gay Journalists’ Association Annual Convention.
