Queer Lit Reading Group

The Queer Lit reading group returns! Our first book of 2024 is David Wojnarowicz's Close To The Knives.

This is the extraordinary memoir from writer, activist and artist David Wojnarowicz. Filthy, beautiful, and sharp to the point of piercing, it is both an exploration of the world seen through the eyes of an artist, and a moving portrait of a generation living, grieving, and dying through the AIDS crisis. It is a triumphant hymn of resistance, and a dizzying celebration of the joys of seeing and living in the world.

"Transition is always a relief. Destination means death to me. If I could figure out a way to remain forever in transition, in the disconnected and unfamiliar, I could remain in a state of perpetual freedom.”
