Description:
The beauty of Literary Pride is that the group is completely independent of everything else and aside from enjoying reading, we also enjoy getting together and just talking. Friendships have been made and the excitement that each meeting generates is exciting. The books we read are mainly just a jumping off point to the dtscussions of matters that affect gay life today. It is such a wonderful feeling for us to come together with the sole purpose being our enjoyment of being together. This year Literary Pride will participate in the Arkansas Literary Festival. For the first time, gay literature will be part of the festival and we are presently working to bring authors into Arkansas for the festival. We have just recieved word that one of the finest gay authors writing today will honor us by attending the Festival. ANDREW HOLLERAN, author of the gay classic Dancer from the Dance as well as Nights in Aruba and The Beauty of Men notified me last night that he is excited to have been included. His new book Grief has garnered rave reviews including two from the New York Times. Rarely is a book reviewed twice by the Times.
