SUMMARY:Queer Love and Pain: An Evening with Novelists Ella Dawson and Jendi Reiter (in person and live-streaming)
DESCRIPTION:Join Jendi Reiter and Ella Dawson for a reading from their new novels and a discussion of using humor and romance to leaven stories of healing from trauma. \nJendi Reiter’s second novel\, Origin Story (Saddle Road Press)\, features a gay comic-book writer in 1990s New York City who unearths traumatic childhood memories through his art and breaks toxic family patterns with the help of his loving partner. \nA bisexual love story with a theme of healing from intimate partner abuse\, Ella Dawson’s witty novel But How Are You\, Really (Dutton) is set at a 5th-year college reunion where journalist Charlotte Thorne must contend with her bullying boss\, the friend group who wonders why she\nghosted on them\, and the lovable almost-boyfriend who got away. \nJendi Reiter is the author of five poetry books and chapbooks\, most recently Made Man (Little Red Tree\, 2022); the story collection An Incomplete List of My Wishes (Sunshot Press/New Millennium Writings\, 2018); and the novels Origin Story (Saddle Road Press\, 2024) and Two\nNatures (Saddle Road Press\, 2016). Origin Story was a finalist for the Big Moose Prize from Black Lawrence Press and Two Natures won the Rainbow Award for Best Gay Contemporary Fiction. They are the editor of the writing resource site WinningWriters.com. \nElla Dawson is an NYC-based sex and culture critic and the author of But How Are You\, Really\, a novel about college reunions and queer millennial angst. She was once internet famous for having herpes\, but that’s a whole other story. Ella is proudly bisexual\, anxious\, and aspires to adopt a kitten. Follow her on social media as @brosandprose. \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. \nAlso live-streaming on the Bureau’s YouTube channel: \nyoutube.com/@bgsqd \nRegistration is not required.
