The November meeting of the Violet Hour Book Club is devoted to queer zines.
We’ll be reading and discussing two influential works in Canadian queer zine culture: the 10th Anniversary Edition of Crooked Fagazine (2025) by Jordan Coulombe, and the first issue of Gender Trash from Hell (1993) by Mirha-Soleil Ross and Xanthra Phillippa. Find out how to get copies below.
We will be holding this month’s meeting during Expozine, Montreal’s annual small press, zine and comics fair (November 15 & 16).
As usual, we will be meeting at Espace des Possibles Petite-Patrie (6450 Avenue Christophe Colomb, Beaubien Metro). L’Espace des Possibles a comme mission d’offrir un lieu d’entraide, d’apprentissages et d’implication dédié à la transition sociale et écologique (la transition socio-écologique).
Toustes sont invités·es au Violet Hour Zine Club, et chacun.e est bienvenu.e à partager ses pensées sur le livre en anglais ou en français.
VISIT EXPOZINE AS A GROUP:
I’ll be inviting members to join me at Expozine before the meeting for a group excursion to discover this year’s exhibitors (more details to follow, once they're announced).
WHERE TO GET COPIES:
Copies of Crooked Fagazine will be available for purchase at the Montreal launch on October 9 (more details to come) or the October meeting of the Violet Hour Book Club (October 18). Copies will also be made available soon through local booksellers (locations to come). You can also purchase copies through www.crookedfagazine.com.
The first issue of Gender Trash from Hell can be downloaded through the Queer Zine Archive Project at https://gittings.qzap.org/gender-trash-from-hell. While I'm only asking people to read the first issue for this meeting, additional issues can be found here: https://digitalexhibitions.arquives.ca/exhibits/show/gendertrash/gendertrash-gallery. For those who are interested, Little Puss Press will be publishing the entire five-issue collection (along with some essays) on November 4.
