About this Event

Steven Pfau presents Say Nephew: On Boyhood, Unclehood, and Queer Mentorship
In conversation with Davey Davis
Steven Pfau presents his debut Say Nephew, a profound and illuminating exploration of the mythology of gay uncles and the meaning of queer bonds across generations. The most influential figure in Pfau’s gay boyhood was his uncle Bruce, both a unique fixture in Pfau's upbringing and a link in a long lineage of uncles, literal and figurative, who have offered various forms of queer tutelage to younger men. Both a coming-of-age story and a wide-ranging study, this wholly original and expansive consideration of queer mentorship blends memoir and criticism to celebrate the gay uncles who shape our sense of queer identity, culture, and history. Brooklyn author Davey Davis (Casanova 20) joins Pfau for a reading and discussion before an audience Q&A and signing.
