"Two (2) Generations": September 12

One of our authors for the September Perfectly Queer "Two (2) Generations" is Edmund Zagorin. He writes under the name Elizeya Quate.

Elizeya Quate is an invitation to dance and/or denounce the equals sign as a self-negating sham. His first novelish-in-stories, "The Face of Our Town," presents Elwood Munn, a morbid barista in the small Midwestern town of Velton. Elwood obsesses over bar trivia, mocks infant worship and reflects on the paradox of pervasive loneliness in our hyper-connected world. The book delivers a delightful awkwardness that may ring only too familiar to anyone who has attempted to twentysomething during the era of the Internets.

Our First Event at Dog Eared Books was a huge success!

For our "Award-Winning Authors" panel, Willy Wilkinson and Vincent Meis drew a crowd of almost 50 people! For the first time, we had more attendees than chairs. It was so exciting. You can watch videos of the readings on our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/perfectlyqueerreadings/

It was so fulfilling to see that we can bring a crowd of folks into a bookstore in the Castro to hear queer authors read. We are looking forward to working with Dog Eared Books to bring authors into the neighborhood to share their works with us.

Read Queer Authors!
