On Wednesday I'll be in-conversation with Katrina Carrasco about Rough Trade, her stylish sex, drugs, and smuggling queer brawl of a Western set in the the non-gilded parts of Gilded Age Tacoma. Come listen to us marvel about sex and gender and genre and the body—putting the queer body back into a history we've long been denied but where we've always belonged.
You might have enjoyed the memorable evening we had at EBBC a few years ago when we were talking about Katrina's debut novel, The Best Bad Things. If you did, then, yay, I promise you another fabulous event. If you did not, then, hey, there's still time!
Here's what I said about the book:
In ROUGH TRADE Carrasco brilliantly evokes both the visceral delight of the queer body at home in queer community and the thrill of deception—moving through the seams of a new society holding secrets…
And if that doesn't convince you, how about the New Yorker:
At once richly atmospheric and finely paced the novel is a potent and morally complex portrait of queer life and history.
Come and listen to us talk about queer history, maps, research, and the joys of using one's body hard in all the best ways.
