Reading Queer

Join us on December 14th at 1pm at Fait la Force Brewing! We will be discussing “Upon the Midnight Queer” by Nathan Burgoine for the holiday season.

Details:

Holiday tales, retold queerly...

A silk hat turns snow into life and a chance at love for a man with little hope of either. Two men with a connection sparked in passing attempt to withstand everything the tumultuous Toronto of 1981 throws their way, with their only remaining hope being Christmas Eve itself. A much-maligned queen of the snow teaches a young boy how to use his magic to find others of his kind. And a reindeer shines a light of its own, and with the help of the daughter of Father Time, brings gifts-and hope-to all those usually left behind.

Holiday magic connects these tales and more-tales heard and seen and sung before, familiar and joyous, or tender and bittersweet-all to the last told upon the midnight queer.
