I’ve mentioned my Bay Area buddy and sensei Ericka before: her terrific writing, her fusion of narrative style with solid and quite personal fact, her matter-of-fact exemplification of the Emma Goldman line about dancing the revolution.

So I’m overdue in sending my few blogreaders her way at the Red Room, where she’s hoping to win a contest by being the best-viewed writer on the block. But now, i can send you to her funny and enticing  video.

I’m  bemused that she kept it so writerly — especially given the title of one of her novels, “Showing Pink.” But you won’t regret seeing it, I promise. Time spent with Ms. Lutz is always that odd combination of bracing and deeply peaceful, no matter the topic.
