Born into a wealthy Black Indianapolis family, at 17, he is ready to leave his overbearing parents and their expectations behind.In the city, Trey meets up with a cast of characters that changes his life forever. He volunteers at a renegade home hospice for AIDS patients, and after being put to the test by gay rights activists, becomes a member of the AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power (ACT UP). Along the way Trey attempts to navigate past traumas and searches for ways to maintain familial relationships—all while seeking the meaning of life amid so much death.Vibrant, humorous, and fraught with entanglements, Rasheed Newson’s My Government Means to K*ll Me is an exhilarating, fast-paced coming-of-age story that lends itself to a larger discussion about what it means for a young gay Black man in the mid-1980s to come to terms with his role in the midst of a political and social reckoning. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/pasadena/solo-book-club-my-government-means-to-kll-me-by-rasheed-newson/100001979271789202 - **Event Categories**: art, literary-art, meetups, nonprofit - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Pasadena - **state**: CA - **country**: United States - **location**: 2057 N Los Robles Ave - **lat**: 34.1811359 - **long**: -118.1422548 - **full address**: 2057 N Los Robles Ave, 2057 North Los Robles Avenue, Pasadena, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Solo Book Club: My Government Means to K*ll Me by Rasheed Newson - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/45235067ddc12d42b6065ac2d0a89aaa9882d99834177ef4da637fb4c4c74413-rimg-w1200-h799-dcbcc2c4-gmir.jpg?v=1767564388 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Solo Book Club: My Government Means to K*ll Me by Rasheed Newson being held? - **A:** Solo Book Club: My Government Means to K*ll Me by Rasheed Newson takes place on Sun, 25 Jan, 2026 at 11:00 am to Sun, 25 Jan, 2026 at 12:30 pm at 2057 N Los Robles Ave, 2057 North Los Robles Avenue, Pasadena, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Solo Book Club: My Government Means to K*ll Me by Rasheed Newson? - **A:** Solo Book Club: My Government Means to K*ll Me by Rasheed Newson is organized by dym books&boba. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
