SUMMARY:Queer Appalachian Parents\, Sex Work\, and the End of the World
DESCRIPTION:Join rural authors Alison Stine\, winner of the 2021 Philip K. Dick Award\, and Becca Spence Dobias to discuss their new books\, Trashlands and On Home. \nTrashlands is a strip club at the edge of an apocalyptic junkyard where a mother works to earn enough to rescue her son. \nIn On Home\, three generations of Appalachian mothers\, including one who works as a cam girl\, struggle with the weight of the past and the small town they call home. \nWhat can rural America—past\, present\, and near-future\, teach us about queerness and the volatile world we find ourselves in today? Stine and Spence Dobias will ask each other these questions and more. \n  \nRegistration on Eventbrite is required in order to receive the Zoom link on the day of the event. \nClick here to register\nSuggested donation to benefit the Bureau: $5. \nAll are welcome to join\, with or without a donation. \n  \nPurchase Becca Spence Dobias’s On Home (paperback\, $18.99) from the Bureau’s online store to have the book shipped to you or to pick up in the physical store. \n  \nPre-order Alison Stine’s Trashlands (hardcover\, $27.99) from the Bureau’s online store to have the book shipped to you or to pick up in the physical store–please note the release date is October 26\, 2021. \n  \nThank you for supporting the Bureau by purchasing books from us! \n  \nAlison Stine grew up in rural Ohio and now lives in Colorado.
