Join Stanford Pride for a book club discussion of Isaac Fellman‘s Dead Collections, which follows Sol, an archivist living in San Francisco who is both trans and a vampire. Sol has taken to living at work to manage his fear of fatal sun exposure. At the archives, Sol meets Elsie who is there to donate her recently deceased wife’s papers. The two hit if off and as they connect Sol must decide if and how to share his secret.
“Dead Collections is a…literary achievement, a book so firmly anchored in space and time, and so rooted in queer and trans intimacy that it achieves [a] hyperreal quality.” —San Francisco Chronicle
Our conversation will be facilitated by Stanford Pride Board members Roz Thomas (they/them) and Autumn Carter (she/her). RSVP by August 15 (Friday) for access to the Zoom link. Stanford Pride will make electronic copies of the book available for attendees who prefer that. All members of the Stanford Pride community (i.e., alumni, students, and staff) are welcome to attend.
