Join our LGBTQ+ book club to discuss Palaver by Bryan Washington!

This event is intended to be a safe space for members of the LGBTQ+ community, allies, and supporters to gather, converse, and celebrate.  New book discussion participants are always welcome.

"Ten years after leaving Houston, a young man living in Tokyo is surprised when his mother shows up unannounced for Christmas. Estranged and burdened by old wounds, they struggle to reconnect amid the bustle of city life, the quiet companionship of a cat, and memories that stretch from Jamaica to Texas. As each learns to see the other anew, their journey reveals how love--messy, imperfect, and deeply human--can bridge even the widest divides."

Place a hold on Palaver through our website, the SCLSNJ app or Libby!

Please note: this event will be held at Turf Surf & Earth, 46 East Main St, Somerville, NJ 08876.  Street parking is free after 7pm.

Purchase is not necessary, but we hope you will support this independent small local business with a purchase during the book discussion.
