EP16. LGBTQ+ Narratives
Alternatively known as queer literature, our topic for this week’s episode is LGBTQ+ stories! It is as timely as ever to appreciate the beautiful stories that are born within the queer community, and it’s one of George’s favorite type of narrative to read. Apologies for some of the audio oddness, George had a mix-up with their microphone. See below for books mentioned!
