Queer Reads: Bury Your Gays by Chuck Tingle thumbnail Photo

Queer Reads: Bury Your Gays by Chuck Tingle

Misha is a jaded scriptwriter who has been working in Hollywood for years, and has just been nominated for his first Oscar. But when he's pressured by his producers to kill off a gay character in the upcoming season finale―"for the algorithm"―Misha discovers that it's not that simple. As he is haunted by his past, and past mistakes, Misha must risk everything to find a way to do what's right―before it's too late.

Next discussion on March 18 is  A Marvellous Light by Freya Marske at McAuliffe Branch Library.

The Queer Reads Book Discussion celebrates queer authors, books, and themes. This discussion meets in person every third Tuesday of the month and alternates between the McAuliffe Branch Library and the Main Library. Register here for the mailing list.
