- **Event Description**: Shon Faye joins us to celebrate the paperback release of Love in Exile.About this EventWe are excited to welcome author and journalist Shon Faye to Deansgate, celebrating the paperback release of Love in Exile.Love in Exile uses the Faye’s own experiences of affection, alienation, compassion and belonging to weave a compelling narrative around contemporary experiences of love. In doing so, Love in Exile expands our sense of the possibilities of change and growth that lie within ourselves.Shon is joined in conversation by author, journalist and speaker Kuchenga Shenjé. Doors at 6pm.About Love In ExileShon Faye grew up quietly obsessed with the feeling that love was not for her. Not just romantic love: the secret fear of her own unworthiness penetrated every aspect and corner of her life. It was a fear that would erupt in destructive, counterfeit versions of the real love she craved: addictions and short-lived romances that were either euphoric and fantastical, or excruciatingly painful and unhinged, often both. Faye’s experience of the world as a trans woman, who grew up visibly queer, exacerbated her fears. But, as she confronted her damaging ideas about love and lovelessness, she came to realize that this sense of exclusion is symptomatic of a much larger problem in our culture.Love, she argues, is as much a collective question as a personal one. Yet our collective ideals of love have developed in a society which is itself profoundly sick and loveless; in which consumer capitalism sells us ever new, engrossing fantasies of becoming more loved or lovable. In this highly politicized terrain, boundaries are purposefully drawn to keep some in and to keep others out. Those who exist outside them are ignored, denigrated, exiled.In Love in Exile, Shon Faye shows love is much greater than the narrow ideals we have been taught to crave so desperately that we are willing to bend and break ourselves to fit them. Wise, funny, unsparing, and suffused with a radical clarity, this is a book of and for our times: for seeing and knowing love, in whatever form it takes, is the meaning of life itself.About the AuthorSHON FAYE is author of the acclaimed bestseller The Transgender Issue.
