Queer Literature
Queer writers and books! Sick of all your lesbians being married off? Bored of all your gays coming out again and again? Where are the trans* folks? In our Queer Book Club, we'll explore a variety of works by and about folks from all across the rainbow. This club usually meets the second Wednesday of the month, unless otherwise noted.
You can find some of Nell’s staff picks here.
Queer Book Club will be meeting Wednesday, May 14th at 7 pm; we will be reading The Swimming-Pool Library by Alan Hollinghurst.
About the book:
The dazzling first novel from the best-selling, Booker Prize-Winning author of The Line of Beauty and The Sparsholt Affair.
An enthralling, darkly erotic novel of homosexuality before the scourge of AIDS; an elegy, possessed of chilling clarity, for ways of life that can no longer be lived with impunity. The Swimming-Pool Library focuses on the friendship of two men: William Beckwith, a young gay aristocrat who leads a life of privilege and promiscuity, and Lord Nantwich, an elderly man searching for someone to write his biography and inherit his traditions.
