In Conversation: Layla McCay & Cheryl Morgan on The Queer Bookshelf
Join award-winning author Layla McCay in conversation with Cheryl Morgan about The Queer Bookshelf, followed by Q&A and book signing.
Nofela CIC is thrilled to host Layla McCay, award-winning author, book club host, and BBC contributor, as she discusses her brilliant new release, “The Queer Bookshelf: A Reader’s Guide.”
We are in the middle of a vibrant renaissance of queer writing. But LGBTQ+ writers, characters and readers have been here since the beginning – quietly, defiantly and persistently telling their stories – if you know where to look.
The Queer Bookshelf is your guide to this essential queer history, and to its contemporary flourishing. Drawing on the author’s own journey as a queer reader and book club host, and packed with recommendations from authors, booksellers, and book lovers around the world, The Queer Bookshelf is a celebration of the books that have helped generations of LGBTQ+ people find themselves on the page.
The evening will feature an insightful interview led by Cheryl Morgan of Wizard’s Tower Press, exploring our rich literary heritage, the current queer writing renaissance, and the joy of building your own ultimate reading list.
The interview will be followed by an audience Q&A and a book signing.
Copies of The Queer Bookshelf will be available for purchase on the night.
