SUMMARY:Book Discussion: Summer Fun by Jeanne Thornton
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our August reading selection\, Summer Fun by Jean Thornton! \nRead Reviews \nAmazon | Goodreads | The Storygraph \nGet the Book \nLibrary | Amazon | Local Bookstore \nAbout the Book\nWinner of the 2022 Lammy Award for Transgender Fiction \nFrom acclaimed author Jeanne Thornton\, an epic\, singular look at fandom\, creativity\, longing\, and trans identity. \nGala\, a young trans woman\, works at a hostel in Truth or Consequences\, New Mexico. She is obsessed with the Get Happies\, the quintessential 1960s Californian band\, helmed by its resident genius\, B—-. Gala needs to know: Why did the band stop making music? Why did they never release their rumored album\, Summer Fun? \nAnd so she writes letters to B—- that shed light not only on the Get Happies\, but paint an extraordinary portrait of Gala. The parallel narratives of B—- and Gala form a dialogue about creation—of music\, identity\, self\, culture\, and counterculture. \nSummer Fun is a brilliant and magical work of trans literature that marks Thornton as one of our most exciting and original novelists. \n(Source: Amazon) \nAbout the Author\nJeanne Thornton is an American writer and co-publisher of Instar Books and Rocksalt Magazine.
