We’ll be reading fiction and non-fiction — classic, contemporary, revealing and visionary. As a group we will decide what to read each month, focusing on lesbian authors and/or related topics. Co-founded by lesbian book lovers Judi Komaki and Piper Olsen.
For our February 8th meeting, we’ll discuss Freshwater, by Akwaeke Emezi (Grove Press, 2018, paperback, $18). To reserve a copy, please write to us at contact@bgsqd.com with “please reserve a copy of Freshwater for me” in the subject line.
And for our March 8th meeting, we’ll read Stone Butch Blues by Leslie Feinberg (1993). Digital and print editions of the book can be found on Leslie Feinberg’s website. Print editions are also available at the Bureau (see below).
