UPTOWN ARTS STROLL: Brookins’ PRETTY with Edgar Gomez at Word Up Recirculation

June 6 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Join us for a reading with KB Brookins from their new memoir Pretty, which discusses queerness, masculinity, and race. In conversation with Brookings will be Edgar Gomez, author of High-Risk Homosexual.

Pretty is one of the most brilliantly constructed memoirs I’ve read. There is not one wasted paragraph or scene here. The language cradles but never ever coddles. Some art just makes you thankful. I am so thankful.

—Kiese Laymon, author of Heavy
