“Alternate Histories, Bottlerocket, and White Whale Bookstore present a new free Atomic Cinema event featuring author Anthony Oliveira reading & discussing his new queer reframing of the gospel, DAYSPRING. The event also features a screening of Edward D. Wood Jr’s transgressive genre-defying film GLEN OR GLENDA (1953), hosted by local drag celebrity Alora Chateaux. This event celebrates the publication of Oliveira’s new book DAYSPRING (which author David Demchuck calls “bracing and breathtaking” as well as “a masterpiece”), alongside Ed Wood’s Centennial (1924-2024).
Anthony Oliveira is a three-time National Magazine and two-time GLAAD award-winning author, film programmer, pop culture critic, and PhD living in Toronto.
This event is free, and is part of EdWood100, a series of events and projects created by Alternate Histories to celebrate the Centennial of film director & writer Edward D. Wood Jr.”

Founded by three publishing professionals in 2015, Littsburgh showcases Pittsburgh as a hub of literary talent and activity while serving as a resource to foster further collaboration and connection within Pittsburgh’s vibrant literary community.
Littsburgh is a passion project and has been since inception.
Because we’re self-powered, we’ve been able to continue promoting literary Pittsburgh without having to compromise our vision or our mission — and without having to close up shop because of lack of funding. Our goal is for Littsburgh to be here for the long haul… and we’re only getting bigger and better every year!
As our audience has grown, however, so have our operating costs: hosting is increasingly expensive, spreading the word about literary Pittsburgh to our readers via social media channels requires paid “boosts,” and we’re investing literally hundreds of volunteer hours into the site every year.
With a small donation, one time or (even better!) recurring, you can help ensure that Littsburgh continues to grow and thrive.
Help us spread the word about literary Pittsburgh!
Littsburgh has always been a “nights and weekends” passion project, ever since we started the site back in 2015. We Read more
