SUMMARY:Bi Book Club discusses Static\, by L.A. Witt
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe Bi Book Club meets on the second Thursday of each month to discuss bi-themed books and the issues they raise. \nDinner after nearby (so far\, we always go to Village Den.) \nOur book for January: Static\, by L.A. Witt. (We suggest you buy or order your copy from our host\, BGSQD.) \nAfter two years together\, Alex has been dreading the inevitable moment when Damon learns the truth: that Alex is a shifter\, part of a small percentage of the population able to switch genders at will. Thanks to a forced implant\, though\, Alex is suddenly static—unable to shift—and male. Overnight\, he’s out to a world that neither understands nor tolerates shifters . . . and to his heterosexual boyfriend. \nDamon is stunned to discover his girlfriend is a shifter\, and scared to death of the dangers the implant poses to Alex’s health. He refuses to abandon Alex\, but what about their relationship? Damon is straight\, and with the implant both costly and dangerous to remove\, Alex is stuck as a man. \nStripped of half his identity and facing serious physical and social ramifications\, Alex needs Damon more than ever\, but he doesn’t see how they can get through this. \nEspecially if he’s static forever. \nPick out some phrases\, paragraphs or scenes that you’d like to discuss\, give us your critique of the book: what worked\, what didn’t\, how was bisexuality represented? If you haven’t had the chance to read the book\, come anyway because we read passages aloud for discussion. As usual\, we’ll also be using the text as a jumping off point to further discussion of bisexual issues and personal experiences. \n  \nRSVP on meetup.com (not required)
