Red: The Book, by and for Teenage Girlsby Rebecca Thomas
For an adolescent girl living out the days of her life on Facebook and MySpace, having your trials and tribulations anthologized for print might seem counterintuitive. But author Amy Goldwasser signed up 58 writers eager to report back from the wilds of teendom. And it's not all pining for the next issue of Teen Vogue. A selection of the young scribes gathers tonight at the Lower East Side Girls Club to read from the newly published "Red: The Next Generation of American Writers — Teenage Girls — On What Fires Up Their Lives Today" (Hudson Street Press). From the crisis in Darfur to the love/loathe relationship with frizzy hair, the essays smartly address a range of topics, with only a dollop of angst. Ms. Goldwasser, a writer and editor who was once rumored to be in the running for the top editorial post vacated by Atoosa Rubenstein at Seventeen magazine, reportedly wants to start her own magazine for teenage girls, one that would rely almost entirely on contributions from its readers. Tonight's reading marks what appears to be the last in a flurry of New York City book dates — and a chance to spot the next Zadie Smith. Tonight, 6 p.m., Lower East Side Girls Club, 56 E. 1st St. at First Avenue, 212-982-1633, free.
