Book Review:

In the shared and private spaces of the college town of Iowa City, a loose circle of lovers and friends encounter, confront, and provoke one another in a volatile year of self-discovery. n.” These four are buffeted by a cast of artists, landlords, meatpacking workers, and mathematicians who populate the cafes, classrooms, and food-

service kitchens of the city, sometimes to violent and electrifying consequence.

Book Review:

A letter has beckoned to Raimundo since he received it over fifty years ago from his youthful passion, Cícero. But having grown up in an impoverished area of Brazil where the demands of manual labor thwarted his becoming literate, Raimundo has long been unable to read. Now at age seventy-one, he at last acquires a true education and the ability to access the letter.

Book Review:

London, 1894. After a lifetime spent navigating his desires, John Addington, married to Catherine, has met Frank, a working-class printer.

Meanwhile Henry Ellis’s wife Edith has fallen in love with Angelica – and Angelica wants Edith all to herself.

When in 1894 John and Henry decide to write a revolutionary book together, intended to challenge convention and the law, they are both caught in relationships stalked by guilt and shame. Yet they share a possibilities for men and women everywhere.

Their daring book threatens to throw John and Henry, and all those around them, into danger. How far should they go to win personal freedoms? And how high a price are they willing to pay for a new way of living?

What: Day
By: Michael Cunningham

Book Review:

Michael Cunningham’s new novel, “Day,” visits a family on April 5 in 2019, 2020 and 2021 — before, during and after the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, which shadows the book although the words “Covid” and “pandemic” never appear.
At the core of the family’s dynamic is a love triangle, more or less platonic. Isabel, a photo editor with a “pugilistic jaw,” feels bad about having lost her erotic connection to her husband, Dan, a former rock ’n’ roller who has now grown “stocky and slightly, voluptuously soft,” but is fantasizing about a comeback. Both she and Dan consider her gay brother, Robbie, a sixth-grade teacher who lives alone in the attic of their brownstone, to be their closest friend.

The Quatrefoil Library in partnership with the Minnesota Historical Society will host the exhibit Going Out, Coming In: LGBTQ+ Spaces in Downtown Minneapolis this fall.
Originally on display at the Mill City Museum, this exhibit brings to life the sights, heart, and energy of Downtown Minneapolis’s LGBTQIA+ community spaces in their first decades. The exhibit immerses visitors in queer resistance, love, and community as it tracks the neighborhood’s evolution from the 1940s to 2000.
We’re excited as a key LGBTQIA+ community space in the present to offer this opportunity for our patrons, volunteers and members of the broader queer community to be able to connect with our shared history.

Join us on Saturday, October 5th
from 6-8pm at the library as we celebrate the opening of the exhibit and kick of LGBTQIA+ history month!

Book Review:

Henry Henry is a queer reimagining of Shakespeare’s Henriad, transposing the legend of Henry V’s wayward youth into 21st-century Britain in the years leading up to the Brexit referendum.
Henry Henry follows Hal Lancaster—22, gay, Catholic—as he spends his first years out of Oxford

floating between internships, drinking with his actor friends, struggling through awkward hook-ups, and occasionally going to confession to be absolved of his sins.
