August LGBTQ Book Club: “Faun” by Trebor Healey August 12th 5:30
Please join us for August’s Book Club discussion of “Faun” by Trebor Healey on Wednesday, August 12th at 5:30 pm, hosted by Richard May!
Set in the Mexican-American community of East LA, Trebor Healey's Faun is an urban fantasy, a new fairy tale about pagan earth spirit, lust and faith, Los Angeles and history. As Gilberto Rubio enters puberty, he finds his body transforming, but not in the same way as his classmates. He is alarmed by the emergence of horn nubs, extreme hair growth on his legs, and the warping of his feet into hooves, to say nothing of how he's making everyone around him horny. His Catholic mother fears for his eternal soul and falls under the sway of that most nefarious of fixers, the exorcist. Meanwhile online, Gilberto grows desperate and encounters an odd wise man who hints of satyrs and centaurs. And so begins the next phase of his journey of discovery and self-acceptance. Sexy, funny, and spell-binding, Faun is a tale quite unlike any other and offers Healey's lyrical, witty and thoughtful prose in the service of mythology, antiquity and earth sexuality - all in the guise of comic misadventure.
Books are available in the shop and online at bookshop.org/shop/alibibookshop
