Kenneth Cain, Heidi Postlewait, and Andrew Thomson

The Leonard Lopate Show | May 10, 2010

They’ve co-written a new memoir called Emergency Sex and Other Desperate Measures: A True Story from Hell on Earth, which the UN is trying to block because of some racy and revealing details.

Events: The three authors will be giving a reading/Q&A/booksigning on Tuesday, July 6 at the Astor Place Barnes & Noble at 7:30PM
