Following our wonderful Queer South Asian Book Club discussion on Rajiv Mohabir's latest book, Antiman: A Hybrid Memoir, join us for a virtual Q&A with the author himself!

Date: Saturday, November 12th

Time: 11am-12pm ET

Where: Zoom! Register to receive the link and a reminder about the event.

Accessibility information:

Live captioning unfortunately will not be available for this event (apparently HIPAA-compliant Zoom accounts cannot use automated captioning - we have been working with the DC Center to find a long-term solution for this issue). Please let us know about any additional accessibility needs you may have through the form below. We will reach out to you before the event and do our best to ensure you are able to participate.

Goodreads description:

Winner of the Restless Books Prize for New Immigrant Writing, Rajiv Mohabir’s Antiman is an impassioned, genre-blending memoir that navigates the fraught constellations of race, sexuality, and cultural heritage that have shaped his experiences as an Indo-Guyanese queer poet and immigrant to the United States.

Please note, we will abide by our book club guidelines:

1. This event is open to all, but if you do not identify as South Asian and LGBTQ+, please respect that it may be an important space for folks who can't easily find that intersection anywhere else.
2. This is a trans-affirming space, so please honor people’s names and pronouns.
3. You do not need to have read the book to join the conversation.
4. Be mindful of the space you take, giving others the opportunity to partake in the discussion.
5. Be mindful about your own explicit and/or implicit biases, such as (but not limited to) ableism, anti-blackness, biphobia, casteism, internalized racism, misogyny, transphobia and religious biases.
6. Be respectful of others and their opinions. Keep discourse civil and agree to disagree when needed.
7. Respect each other’s privacy.
