SUMMARY:1:15 PM - Saturday - Book Club
DESCRIPTION:What: Flannelwood\nBy: Raymond Luczak\nHost: Gus\nWhere: Quatrefoil Library\nWhen: March 21 at 1:15 PM \nContact Rick for details or to subscribe to book club notices by email here. \nBook Review: \n\n\n\nRaymond Luczak (Assembly Required: Notes from a Deaf Gay Life) performs a delicate balancing act in this romantic elegy\, taking inspiration from the tone and plot of Djuna Barnes’s groundbreaking 1936 novel Nightwood while still crafting an original and modern\, but somewhat unsatisfying story about learning to love and to let go. When failed poet and full-time barista Bill Badamore meets James Alan at the annual OctoBear Dance at the local VFW\, he is overwhelmed. James\, a surly and secretive amputee\, seems to be everything that Bill has ever wanted in a lover\, and their chemistry is incendiary. But after a tumultuous six months together\, James abruptly ends their relationship. Lost and forlorn\, Bill recalls his life\, his failed romance with the troubled James\, and his discovery of true love with a courageous playwright in the wake of heartbreak. Luczak explores a number of significant themes in these rambling ruminations\, including living with disability and finding one’s true self within a repressive masculine culture. Unfortunately\, the utter devotion to emulating Barnes’s style often leaves the prose feeling belabored\, and some of the book’s impact is lost beneath the waves of references\, quotes\, and digressions. This experiment is not unsuccessful\, but only fans of interwar modernist queer literature are likely to really dig it. \n\n\n \n\n\nPublishers Weekly

SUMMARY:1:15 PM - Saturday - Book Club
DESCRIPTION:What: The Unpunished Vice\nBy: Edmund White\nHost: Rick\nWhere: Quatrefoil Library\nWhen: Feb 15 at 1:15 PM \nContact Rick for details or to subscribe to book club notices by email here. \nBook Review: \nEdmund White\, …the author of “A Boy’s Own Story” and “The Farewell Symphony\,” is back with a new book-crazy memoir\, “The Unpunished Vice: A Life of Reading.” It finds him seductively “rambling” (his word) through his boyhood memories of library-stack escapades\, both bibliophilic and erotic; his literary friendships with John Irving\, Alison Lurie\, Joyce Carol Oates\, Michael Ondaatje and others; and his marriage to writer Michael Carroll\, which he makes sound like a union between a social butterfly (himself) and an extremely fit but soberly devoted apostle of literature (Carroll).
There’s also brilliant commentary on novelists Colette and Penelope Fitzgerald\, cult author Curzio Malaparte\, playwright-filmmaker Jean Cocteau and Britain’s greatest literary eccentric\, Henry Green\, whom White discovered at the Evanston Public Library. \nThe teenaged White lived with his divorced mother on Chicago’s Near North Side before heading to college in Michigan. As he puts it\, he was “a midwestern public library aesthete and would-be intellectual” who hankered after Paris — and eventually got there too. \nMichael Upchurch\, Chicago Tribune

SUMMARY:1:15 PM - Saturday - Book Club
DESCRIPTION:What: Oranges\nBy: Gary Eldon Peter\nHost: Rick\nWhere: Quatrefoil Library\nWhen: January 18th at 1:15 PM \nContact Rick for details or to subscribe to book club notices by email here. \nBook Review: \n\n\n\nGary Eldon Peter writes revealingly about things we all experience. The haunting aura left by a former lover. Sparks of humor even in tending to grim details of a dying parent. The incompleteness\, the compromises\, of our closest relationships. \nLinking the collection is Michael\, a 40-something lawyer who has lost a longtime lover to AIDS. Michael has a boyfriend\, Stephen\, and is helping care for his dying mother and aging father. \nIn the bittersweet title story\, Michael’s plain-spoken mom\, who is in chemotherapy for cancer\, loves the oranges that he brings when he drives down to Iowa from Minneapolis to visit her. In “Sun Country\,” he visits his widowed father at a chilly retirement colony in Florida. What gay child can’t relate when it becomes clear that talking with your dad about golf\, travel schedules and car cleaning proves much easier than tackling a discussion of a son’s gayness? \nClaude Peck\, Star Tribune

SUMMARY:1:15 PM - Saturday - Book Club
DESCRIPTION:What: Shortest Way Home By: Peter Buttigieg\nHost: Jerry\nWhere: Quatrefoil Library\nWhen: Dec. 21 at 1:15 PM \nContact Rick for details or to subscribe to book club notices by email here. \nBook Review:\nHave I mentioned Buttigieg is gay? It’s a marker of just how drastically the politics around gay rights have evolved in the past decade that this fact isn’t considered immediately disqualifying in a presidential candidate. Buttigieg himself noted this shift in a recent interview: “When I got into elected office” — just seven years ago — “it was a given in my mind that you could either be out or you could be in office — not both.” \nBut Buttigieg has managed to do both\, in Mike Pence’s Indiana of all places. After taking leave from his first term as mayor to serve in Afghanistan\, Buttigieg returns home eager to be upfront about his sexuality: “Before going overseas\,” he writes\, I had felt comfortable being more than one person\, as we all sometimes must\, according to the roles we are called to play. […] But something about exposure to danger impresses upon you that a life is not only fragile but single\, with one beginning and one end. It heightens the desire for your life to make sense as a whole\, not just from certain angles.” \nAfter telling his parents he’s gay\, he writes an essay for the South Bend Tribune to take the news public. Notwithstanding a few internet trolls\, some conservative constituents\, and an anti-gay newspaper deliveryman who temporarily boycotts Buttigieg on his morning rounds\, the reception is generally positive. Buttigieg goes on to win reelection with over 80 percent of the vote.\n— Harrison Hill\, Los Angeles Review of Books
