The Garden District Book Shop will host beloved local author Frank Perez on May 29 to celebrate the release of his book Rainbow Fleur de Lis: Essays on Queer New Orleans History.
Rainbow Fleur de Lis: Essays on Queer New Orleans History is an anthology of eighty-five short, easy-to-read essays that originally appeared in Ambush Magazine and French Quarter Journal. Author Frank Perez has collected essays on a wide variety of topics in LGBTQ+ history and arranged them into multiple sections. Each section contains five essays and begins with a brief introductory overview that ties the individual pieces together.
The evening will begin at 6:00 PM. Frank will read passages from his book and then open up the floor for a Q&A. Afterwards, he will personalize copies of his book. The event is free and open to the public but interested parties are encouraged to reserve their book ahead of time on Eventbrite.
