"These days, when malevolent threats seem endless and allies grow ever more elusive, wouldn't it be splendid if queer folks could draw on their magic to defeat the forces of evil? Together with these talented authors, we'll create a space where that just might be within reach. In Charlie Jane Anders's Lessons in Magic and Disaster, a trans graduate student whose funding is in jeopardy harbors a secret spell-casting ability."
"In Michelle Tea's road trip novel Little F, a queer runaway and his teenage witch best friend embark on a quest for the queer utopia of Provincetown, MA. And in Caitlin Starling's The Starving Saints, three women-a nun-turned-sorceress, a knight, and a serving girl-reclaim their powers in the midst of a horrific fever dream. Guided by moderator Evette Davis, author of The Council Trilogy, let's imagine our way into a new future of strength and power."
An all-ages program from 8:15–10:00pm in San Francisco presents queer-centered narratives that center magic, resistance, and reclamation of power. One story follows a trans graduate student whose funding is threatened while harboring a secret spell-casting ability. Another follows a queer runaway and his teenage witch friend on a road trip to Provincetown, MA, seeking a queer utopia. A third follows three women—a nun-turned-sorceress, a knight, and a serving girl—reclaiming their powers amid a horrific fever dream. A moderator will facilitate the evening. Tickets receive $3 off with code earlybird10 online through October 12; codes are not valid at the door and are not case sensitive. Venue: 988 Columbus Ave, SF, CA.
