Celebrating Queer Lit with Eve Gleichmann, Laura Blackett, and Emma Copley Eisenberg
Join us for an evening celebrating queer lit with two much-anticipated new novels, hosted by Oblong Books’ Nicole Brinkley.
Laura Blackett & Eve Gleichman’s new novel TRUST & SAFETY is a wry yet tenderhearted story about a couple who attempt to buy their way into a “wild and precious” existence in the Hudson Valley, where they quickly become entangled with a queer couple living the dream analog life. Whip-smart and wickedly funny, Trust and Safety examines questions of authenticity, betrayal, belonging, and entitlement, while poking fun at contemporary fear of the “gay agenda.”
In Emma Copley Eisenberg’s new novel HOUSEMATES (A Most Anticipated Book of 2024: Lit Hub, Debutiful, LGBTQ Reads, The Rumpus, Lilith, Hey Alma, Them) two young housemates embark on a road trip to discover themselves through love, friendship, and chosen family in a fractured America. Warm and insightful, Housemates is a story of youth and freedom—a glorious celebration of queer life, and how art and love might save us all.
