hello! I’ve started going to a book group and for this months book we are each choosing a book by a queer writer who is no longer with us or a book about a queer hero who is no longer with us.
if anyone has any suggestions for any books they love that fit either of these i’d really appreciate it! :3 thank you

Immediately thought of **Giovanni’s Room** by James Baldwin!
Obsessed with Cookie Mueller FOREVER. Add “Walking Through Clear Water in a Pool Painted Black” to your list. If you haven’t read Just Kids, a modern classic about Patti’s friendship with Robert Mapplethorpe. If you’re into art books/film could check out the new Peter Hujar postcard/correspondence book: “stay away from nothing” and then watch the film Peter Hujar’s Day!
I gotta say To Paradise by Hanya Yanagihara, still sad and queer (casually) but nothing as extreme as my darling a little life
Price of Salt is a great one!
