Hey book lovers! Tales Together is BACK, and we're kicking things off with a literary adventure that spans the globe! Get ready to pack your imaginary suitcases and join us as we explore the incredible world of LGBTQIA+ stories from diverse cultures and perspectives.
🗓️ When: Friday, June 21, 2025, at 2:00 PM
📍 Where: Halycon Books
✨ What to Wear: ✨ dress up in your brightest rainbow colors!
Here's the plan for our literary journey:
When you arrive, you'll get your very own "Queer Lit Passport" – a special little handout where you can jot down all the amazing book suggestions and discoveries you make during our meetup!
Then, we'll dive into some wonderfully vibrant conversations. We'll be chatting about:
- Cultural Nuances: How do culture, history, and social norms shape queer experiences and their portrayal in literature around the globe?
- Universal Themes: What universal themes of love, acceptance, struggle, and joy resonate across these diverse narratives, no matter where they're from?
- What More Do We Need? Are there regions, genres, or types of stories that are still underrepresented in queer literature? What would you personally love to see more of on the page?
This event is so much more than just reading; it's about connecting with the global queer community through their powerful stories. It's a true celebration of diversity, resilience, and all those beautiful, universal threads that really bind us together.
Come ready to learn, share, and expand your literary horizons with us! We truly can't wait to embark on this journey with you.
See you there, dressed in your most fabulous rainbow hues!
A little note: We kindly request everyone who attends to purchase a drink at the venue, as they are generously accommodating us for free.
