Hijab Butch Blues – Queer Book Club
September 8, 2024 @ 2:00 pm – 5:00 pm CEST
Join us for a discussion of “Hijab Butch Blues: A Memoir” by Lamya H. on Sunday 8th of September. 💕✨
“A gorgeously written, tender, life-affirming story of coming-of-age—a journey that looks different than mine on the outside, but which resonated with me so powerfully on the inside. Though I am white and Christian, while Lamya H is Brown and Muslim, in Hijab Butch Blues, Lamya H did what the best memoirs do: made me feel deeply seen and understood. Lamya and I have gone on parallel journeys from faith to doubt and back, finding a renewed, more lasting, truer form of faith—one defined by a devotion to humanity, community, and hope. A masterful, must-read contribution to conversations on power, justice, healing, and devotion from a singular voice I now trust with my whole heart, Lamya H’s debut Hijab Butch Blues invites us all to a deeper, more loving way to live.” — Glennon Doyle, author of Untamed
“Hijab Butch Blues is a revelation, an emotional journey of faith, family, community and sexuality. With precision, compassion, and deeply observed storytelling, Lamya H—a new, distinctive voice—navigates the fault lines of life and love in a queer Muslim body.” —Linda Villarosa, author of Under the Skin: The Hidden Toll of Racism on American Lives and on the Health of Our Nation
We have a partnership with o*books where we order the books for the next session through the bookstore and they can be picked up in-store. o*books is a queer feminist bookshop based Bruno-Marek-Allee 24/1, 1020 Wien.
