With lyrical precision, psychological directness, resonating symbolic power, and a rage that is at once unrelenting and compassionate, Baldwin chronicles a fourteen-year-old boy's discovery of the terms of his identity as the stepson of the minister of a Pentecostal storefront church in Harlem. Baldwin's rendering of his protagonist's spiritual, sexual, and moral struggle toward self-invention opened new possibilities in the American language and in the way Americans understood themselves. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/alexandria/june-queer-book-club-go-tell-it-on-the-mountain/100001982710743206 - **Event Categories**: Art, literary-art, Meetups - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Alexandria - **state**: VA - **country**: United States - **location**: Old Town Books - **lat**: 38.80359139999999 - **long**: -77.04368099999999 - **full address**: Old Town Books, 130 South Royal Street, Alexandria, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: June Queer Book Club: Go Tell It on the Mountain - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/39a42559a87d640dbb10411dcb4070b0f20f9b857f4471253c838b6cfe27340d-rimg-w1200-h600-dc5da8ae-gmir.jpg?v=1770884165 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is June Queer Book Club: Go Tell It on the Mountain being held? - **A:** June Queer Book Club: Go Tell It on the Mountain takes place on Fri, 12 Jun, 2026 at 07:00 pm to Fri, 12 Jun, 2026 at 08:00 pm at Old Town Books, 130 South Royal Street, Alexandria, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing June Queer Book Club: Go Tell It on the Mountain? - **A:** June Queer Book Club: Go Tell It on the Mountain is organized by Old Town Books. - **Q**: What has been the experience of attendees at Old Town Books's events? - **A:** Attendees have given Old Town Books a rating of 5/5 based on reviews from early attendees on AllEvents.
