Books and Banter (Memoirs) - Queer Calgary

Join us for our Queer Books & Banter, where we encourage a theme rather than a specific book so you can choose something you really want to read and talk about!

This month we will be focusing on Memoirs!

Reading Recs:

1. A History of My Brief Body by Billy-Ray Belcourt.
   This is not your typical memoir. Billy-Ray Belcourt's exploration of grief, colonial violence, sexual exploration, and personal growth does not appear in a linear fashion, nor does it conform to conventional writing and continuity standards, but the raw emotion in this book is sincere and touching. We would love to hear your thoughts on this!
2. The Argonauts by Maggie Nelson.
   Join Maggie Nelson on her journey through pregnancy and her partner's shifting identity as she redefines family and love whilst drawing on the work and words of known feminist scholars.
