About the event
Hello! For November we will be reading The Gilda Stories by Jewelle Gomez.
*Recommended by Reese Witherspoon's Book Club!
Book Riot's*Voted One of Most Influential Queer Books & Horror Novels of All Time!
Before , before , before Octavia Butler's , there was , Jewelle Gomez's sexy vampire novel.BuffyTwilightFledglingThe Gilda Stories
This remarkable novel begins in 1850s Louisiana, where Gilda escapes slavery and learns about freedom while working in a brothel. After being initiated into eternal life as one who "shares the blood" by two women there, Gilda spends the next two hundred years searching for a place to call home. An instant lesbian classic when it was first published in 1991, has endured as an auspiciously prescient book in its explorations of blackness, radical ecology, re-definitions of family, and yes, the erotic potential of the vampire story.The Gilda Stories
