SUMMARY:Wayne Hoffman talks about his true crime memoir\, with Q&A by Larry Flick (in-person AND live-streaming)
DESCRIPTION:Award-winning gay novelist Wayne Hoffman (Hard\, An Older Man\, Sweet Like Sugar) makes his nonfiction debut with The End of Her: Racing Against Alzheimer’s to Solve a Murder. \nWayne’s great-grandmother\, a Russian Jewish immigrant\, was brutally murdered in 1913 in Winnipeg’s so-called Hebrew Colony. The crime made headlines across Canada\, in English and Yiddish newspapers\, and her funeral was the largest Winnipeg had ever seen. But the killer was never found. A century later\, Wayne—a veteran journalist—set out to solve this mystery when his mother (named in her slain grandmother’s memory) was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. The result is a family memoir about a gay man caring for his mother as her mental health deteriorates\, interspersed with a historical investigation into the events of a century ago\, as he races to find the answers before his mother loses the ability to understand her own family history. \nReading followed by a Q&A with veteran Billboard editor and Sirius XM radio host Larry Flick\, joining us virtually from Wales. \nJoin Wayne Hoffman in-person at the Bureau OR watch the live-stream of the event on the Bureau’s YouTube channel:  \nhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzrAvfZMDF_ilmUH0CBn5iA \n. \nSafety protocol (for those joining in person): \nIn an effort to prevent the spread of COVID-19: \nPlease bring proof of vaccination with you.\nYou will need to show proof of vaccination and a photo id in order to attend the event.\nIf you have any symptoms associated with COVID-19 in the days leading up to the event\, we ask you to please stay home. \nPlease note that masks are required at all times inside The LGBT Community Center\, where the Bureau is located. \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \nPurchase Wayne Hoffman’s The End of Her: Racing Against Alzheimer’s to Solve a Murder (Heliotrope Books\, 2022\, paperback\, $18) from the Bureau’s online store. \nThank you for supporting the Bureau by purchasing books from us! \nCopies of The End of Her are also available at the Bureau’s physical store. \n  \nSuggested donation $10 to benefit the Bureau’s work. \nAll are welcome to attend\, with or without donation. \nWe will pass a bag for donations at the start of the event\, but we can also take credit card donations at the register or you can donate in advance on EVENTBRITE. \n  \nWayne Hoffman is the author of three novels—Hard\, An Older Man\, and Sweet Like Sugar—and his essays have appeared in such anthologies as Mama’s Boy: Gay Men Write About Their Mothers and Best Gay Stories 2010.
