Queer Nonfiction Book Club
Join us for the pilot season of the Lewiston Public Library’s new Queer Nonfiction Book Club. This group will meet monthly to discuss selected books on LGBTQIA+ history and topics in the library’s Couture Room from 5:30 to 6:30 pm on September 30th, October 28th, and November 18th.
At the September 30th meeting, the group will discuss A Queer History of the United States by Michael Bronski. This book provides a concise history of the nation as it pertains to queer identity, understanding, acceptance, and rights.
On October 28th, the group will discuss It Came From the Closet: Queer Reflections on Horror edited by Joe Vallese. This is a collection of twenty-five narrative essays by LGBTQIA+ authors reflecting on queerness in horror film.
On November 18th, the group will discuss Hijab Butch Blues by Lamya H, which is the memoir of a queer Muslim immigrant’s coming of age as she drew inspiration from the Quran in search for belonging.
