Melissa Febos reading and discussion
About the event
A few moments from last night with Melissa Febos 💜
30+ people joined us at the New Haven Pride Center as Melissa read from and discussed her memoir, The Dry Season. She was open, funny, and such a delight to listen to and meet. We loved sharing this evening with our community.
A huge thank-you to Dr. Samuel Ernest, founding publisher and editor in chief of Homodoxy and The Rearview, for organizing the whole event and making the night possible, and to Possible Futures for providing copies of the book.
Thank you, Melissa, and everyone who joined us!
