SUMMARY:Fever Spores: The Queer Reclamation of William S. Burroughs Book Launch (in person & live-streaming)
DESCRIPTION:Please join editors Brian Alessandro & Tom Cardamone and multiple contributors as they launch the anthology Fever Spores: The Queer Reclamation of William S. Burroughs. Inexplicably\, William S. Burroughs has not been embraced by the LGBTQI community as one of our own\, even though his queerness was central to his life and work. Fever Spores serves as an appreciation and reclamation project. The collection includes interviews and essays from emerging and established writers\, filmmakers\, musicians\, artists\, and critics\, many of whom will be on hand tonight to share their work. \nReaders include contributors Laura Schleifer\, Charlie Vazquez\, Xan Price\, Peter Dubé\, Timothy Young\, Dennis Leroy Kangalee\, Jason Napoli Brooks\, Sam Desmond\, & Sven Davisson \nThis event will take place in person at the Bureau of General Services—Queer Division\, on the second floor (room 210) of The LGBT Community Center\, 208 W. 13th St.\, NYC\, 10011. \nRegistration is not required. Seating is first come\, first served. \nAlso live-streaming on the Bureau’s YouTube channel \n  \nSafety protocol \nIn an effort to prevent the spread of COVID-19: \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. \nSuggested donation $10 to benefit the Bureau’s work. \nAll are welcome to attend\, with or without donation. \n  \nWe will pass a bag for donations at the start of the event\, but we can also take credit card donations at the register. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \nBrian Alessandro is a writer\, artist\, and filmmaker. His work has appeared in Newsday\, Interview Magazine\, Bloom\, PANK\, Huffington Post\, Turtle Point Press\, Lambda Literary\, Edmund White: By the Book\, and (Re): An Ideas Journal. He has also written and directed the feature film\, Afghan Hound\, founded the literary journal\, The New Engagement\, and wrote the novel\, The Unmentionable Mann. He recently co-adapted Edmund White’s A Boy’s Own Story into a graphic novel for Top Shelf Productions.
