Read With Pride: A Night with James Baldwin 📚✨
Honor Black History Month with us through a journey into the heart of queer literary history. Join Mountain Pride and The Bookworm of Edwards for our February Read With Pride Book Club as we discuss one of the most significant and moving novels of the 20th century.
We’ll be diving into the groundbreaking classic, Giovanni’s Room by James Baldwin.
Date: February 25th 5:30 PM – The Bookworm of Edwards
About the Book: Giovanni’s Room
Set among the bohemian bars and nightclubs of 1950s Paris, this is a story about love and the fear of it. David, a young American expatriate, finds himself caught between the conventional life he’s “supposed” to want and his intense desire for a charismatic bartender named Giovanni.
Spanning one long, dark night of reflection, Baldwin’s masterpiece delves into the mysteries of the human heart, identity, and the choices that define us. Hailed as one of the greatest American novels, it is a sharp, probing, and deeply moving exploration of what it means to love.
Honor the Legacy, Stay for the Community!
James Baldwin wrote this classic while living in France to escape the racism and homophobia of the United States, making it a powerful piece to discuss during Black History Month.
As always, everyone is welcome—even if you haven’t finished the book! Whether you want to dive deep into the literary themes or just want to connect with your community over a great story, there is a seat for you at our table.
Don’t miss this chance to celebrate queer brilliance and share a warm, meaningful discussion as we look back at the voices that paved the way for us today.
