LGBTQ+ History Month Reading Group- 'Rainbow Rainbow' by Lydia Conklin
LGBTQ+ History Month Reading Group- 'Rainbow Rainbow' by Lydia Conklin In-Person
As part of our Reading for Diversity series, the Library is teaming up with BookSoc to read and discuss 'Rainbow Rainbow' by Lydia Conklin in honour of LGBTQ+ History Month and as a part of LibFest.
This prize-winning collection of stories celebrates the diverse queer and trans experience, exploring liminal identities, queer conception, and unexpected joys.
Lydia Conklin's debut features characters grappling with love, forgiveness, and their own identities despite their sometimes comic, sometimes tragic mistakes. From a lesbian couple's unconventional attempt to conceive to a nonbinary person’s dangerous experiments with an open relationship on the eve of top surgery, these stories are both humorous and poignant. With insightful prose, Conklin delves into the complexities of queer life, revealing both the dark and lovable sides of her characters.
All are welcome - no need to read the entire collection!
The Library has provided digital and print copies of the book and it is also available to purchase from most major book retailers. Book Soc also has a limited number of print copies available.
The discussion group will be held in the Digital Commons on Level 1 of the Information Commons.
