Donnell Alexander at Book Soup

Former LA Weekly (and ESPN the Magazine) writer Donnell Alexander is back from a seven-city book tour and will read from his memoir Ghetto Celebrity at Book Soup next Monday the 21st at 7 p.m. It was reviewed Sunday in the Washington Post and last week in the San Francisco Chronicle, but has not been touched so far in Los Angeles. Surprising perhaps since the book is billed (in part) as being about his time at the Weekly as a young black hip hop-loving writer, and in the book he writes plenty about the sex he's had and the drugs he's enjoyed.
