Join us at Gabes Bar & Kitchen, 991 Lexington Pkwy, St Paul (Neighborhood Bar | Gabe's By The Park | Saint Paul, MN). All are welcome to our discussion on Paul Takes the Form of a Mortal Girl by Andrea Lawlor.
It's 1993 and Paul Polydoris tends bar at the only gay club in a university town thrumming with politics and partying. He studies queer theory, has a dyke best friend, makes zines, and is a flaneur with a rich dating life. But Paul's also got a secret: he's a shapeshifter. Oscillating wildly from Riot Grrrl to leather cub, Paul transforms his body and his gender at will as he crossed the country--a journey and adventure through the deep queer archives of struggle and pleasure.
Paul Takes the Form of a Mortal Girl is a riotous, razor-sharp bildungsroman whose hero/ine wends his/her way through a world gutted by loss, pulsing with music, and opening into an array of intimacy and connections. (Thrift Books)
I hope that you can join us. All are welcome. We normally have 10-12 regular attendees. If you are new to our book club or haven't been with us for a while, please email Ron.
