In this intimate reading, acclaimed writer CE Gatchalian shares excerpts from his memoir Double Melancholy: Art, Beauty, and the Making of a Brown Queer Man—a lyrical and provocative exploration of race, desire, and artistic identity. Blending cultural criticism with personal reflection, the memoir traces the formation of a brown queer sensibility through encounters with literature, film, and family history. This reading will offer a glimpse into a richly textured inner world shaped by both beauty and marginalization.
