Guest guest Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 This coming Tuesday, Roberta Kalechofsky, author of numerous fiction and animal rights books and founder of Jews for Animal Rights, will give a reading from her latest collection of short stories, " Job Enters A Pain Clinic, " ( http://tinyurl.com/9ny3d) followed by discussion, book signing and reception with vegan refreshments. A number of Kalechofsky's new stories deal with animal and human experimentation and the impact of modern medical technologies on how we live, themes increasingly reflected in today's headlines (as seen in the recent SF Bay Guardian expose [ www.sfbg.com/39/52/index.php] of UCSF's animal welfare violations). Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson (author of When Elephants Weep) called Kalechofsky's stories " remarkable, " and Charles Patterson (author of Eternal Treblinka) called her " a fearless chronicler of matters of life and death. " Eminent animal rights philosopher Tom Regan once said of Ms. Kalechofsky, " [o]f all the historians of ideas with whom I am familiar, if I had a choice between listening to just one of them, I would not hesitate to choose Roberta. She is that good, that worth spending time with…she truly serves as an inspiration to all of us who aspire to make our ideas clear - and to make them count.
