UPTOWN — Musician and author Laura Jane Grace is coming to Chicago's Uptown neighborhood Dec. 2 to read from and sign copies of her new memoir, "Tranny: Confessions Of Punk Rock's Most Infamous Anarchist Sellout."

Grace is the lead singer and guitarist for the punk rock band Against Me! and came out as a transgender woman in 2012.

Since then, she has advocated for trans issues and continued to write about her experiences in both book and song form. In recent years, she has become a Chicago resident.

At 7 p.m. Dec. 2, Grace will be at the Wilson Abbey, 935 W. Wilson Ave., reading from her new book, which "provides a searing account of her search for identity and her true self," according to the event page.

The $35 ticket price also includes a copy of the memoir and book signing after the discussion.
