Trebor Healey reads from his new collection A Perfect Scar at Books Inc. in the Castro December 13, 2007

Join Books Inc. as we welcome Trebor Healey, author of Throught It Came Bright Colors and Sweet Son of Pan, as he reads from his new collection of short stories A Perfect Scar

A Perfect Scar and Other Stories is a whimsical, sly, and slightly crazy collection of short stories from award-winning novelist, poet, and songwriter Trebor Healey. These 12 tales cover a lot of ground, including AIDS, aging, death, eroticism, tattoos, and multiculturalism--all told with humor, insight, and Healey's rich, lyrical touch.

About Trebor Healey:

Trebor was born in San Francisco, raised in Seattle, and studied English and American Literature at the University of California at Berkeley.

Trebor spent his twenties in San Francisco, where he was active in the spoken word scene of the late 80s and early 90s, publishing 5 chapbooks of poetry as well as numerous poems in various reviews, journals, anthologies and zines. In 1994, along with Marci Blackman, he co-edited Beyond Definition: New Writing from Gay and Lesbian San Francisco (Manic D Press), and wrote the song "Denny" for the homocore punk band, Pansy Division.

Trebor currently lives in Los Angeles where he is writing his second novel, A Horse Named Sorrow.

Books Inc. is a locally owned and operated independent bookseller with 10 locations in California. Books Inc.’s origin dates back to the Gold Rush Days of 1851 when Anton Roman struck it rich in Shasta City, California and set himself up in business selling books. That small bookstore was moved, bought, sold, burned, rebuilt, renamed and became Books Inc., as we know it today, in 1946.

Today, with 10 Stores and 200 employees, Books Inc. serves as a shining example that independent bookselling can survive and prosper, even if we must dance among the elephants.
