Event Details

The LGBTQ+ book group will provide a safe space for anyone interested in reading and engaging with others about novels with LGBTQ+ themes.


On an Ojibwe reservation called Languille Lake, within the small town of Geshig at the hub of the rez, Marion Lafournier, a mid-twenties gay Ojibwe man, and Shannon, a heavily closeted white man, enter into a secret romance. While Marion is far more open about his sexuality, neither is immune to the realities of the lives of gay men in small towns and closed societies. This Town Sleeps explores the many ways history, culture, landscape, and lineage shape our lives, our understanding of the world we inhabit, and the stories we tell ourselves to make sense of it all.
