Maurice by E.M. Foster (lgbt bookclub/fiction/novels)

Let's read and discuss the short novel "Maurice" by E.M. Foster

" Maurice is heartbroken over unrequited love, which opened his heart and mind to his own sexual identity. In order to be true to himself, he goes against the grain of society’s often unspoken rules of class, wealth, and politics. "

I picked this book because it is considered another examples of overtly gay fiction in western literature.

Forster understood that his homage to same-sex love, if published when he completed it in 1914, would probably end his career. Thus, Maurice languished in a drawer for fifty-seven years, the author requesting it be published only after his death (along with his stories about homosexuality later collected in The Life to Come).

Hypnos is a monthly lgbt bookclub focusing primarily on gay men's topics in philosophy, history, literature, poetry and art.

Vino's is very cozy and quiet, even though it's on Las Olas. They have a large drink list, as well as bistro type food like gourmet pizza and charcuterie boards. The room is small and private. Happy hour is until 7.00 pm. There's cheap and plentiful parking right behind the building. If we're full but you'd still like to come or bring a guest, message me, we might have a few extra spots.
