Author John Loughery, who was a Pulitzer Prize finalist for his book will speak tonight at New York's Lesbian and Gay Community Services Center |
New York, New York—John Loughery will be speaking tonight at 7 p.m. in New York's Lesbian and Gay Community Services Center (One Little West 12th Street). Donation: $3.
Loughery is this year's Lambda Book Awards winner in the Gay Men's Studies category for his classic, The Other Side of Silence: Men's Lives and Gay Identities: A Twentieth-Century History. Loughery will discuss how his masterful telling about gay male life starting in 1919 also received both the Publishing Triangle's Randy Shilts Award for Non-Fiction and Florida scholar Jesse Monteagudo's vote for Book of the Year. |
June marks the release of the paperback version of Loughery's extraordinary work. Based on hundreds of interviews, including both new and classic texts, as well as little-known archival sources, Loughery's award winning book demonstrates how gay male communities, and identities have been constantly refashioned in America.
