Book Review:
Joshua Moehling’s debut is on solid ground in its writing and suspense. The opening gambit is simple – two teens go missing after breaking into someone’s house. ‘Propulsive’ and ‘atmospheric’ are two words that will alternate in your brain as you read this novel about a Deputy Sheriff, his secrets and the small town that holds even more secrets.

Book Review:
He was the first openly gay reporter assigned
to a gay beat at a mainstream paper and one
of the nation’s most influential chroniclers of
gay history, politics, and culture. Shilts wrote
three seminal works on the community: The
Mayor of Castro Street, on the life,
assassination, and legacy of Harvey Milk; And
the Band Played On, detailing the failure of
politics as usual during the early AIDS
epidemic; and Conduct Unbecoming, a history
of the US military’s mistreatment of LGBTQ
servicemembers.
Yet the intimate life story of Randy Shilts has
been left unwritten. When the Band Played On
tells that story, recognizing his legacy as a
trailblazing figure in gay activism, journalism,
and public policy.
The resulting narrative tells the tale of a
singularly gifted voice, a talented yet insecure
young man, whose coming of age became
intricately linked to the history of modern gay
liberation.
Author Micheal G. Lee will join us for the
meeting.

Book Review:
John Boyne’s epic covers the life of a gay Irishman, Cyril Avery, in the late half of the twentieth century from the time of his birth and adoption to his later decline and eventual death in the present day. Dickensian in scope has all the trappings of a nineteenth century novel, with its elaborate plot points, its twists and turns of fate and coincidence, and its ribald characterizations.
