The Bi+ Book Club reading for July 11th will be "Irrepressible: The Jazz Age Life of Henrietta Bingham" by Emily Bingham.

Summary: "Bingham was offered the helm of a publishing empire. Instead, she ripped through the Jazz Age like an F. Scott Fitzgerald character: intoxicating and intoxicated, selfish and shameless, seductive and brilliant, endearing and often terribly troubled. In New York, Louisville, and London, she drove both men and women wild with desire, and her youth blazed with sex. But her love affairs with women made her the subject of derision and caused a doctor to try to cure her queerness. After the speed and pleasure of her early decades, the toxicity of judgment from others, coupled with her own anxieties, resulted in years of addiction and breakdowns. And perhaps most painfully, she became a source of embarrassment for her family—she was labeled "a three-dollar bill." But forebears can become fairy-tale figures, especially when they defy tradition and are spoken of only in whispers."

The Bi+ Book Club meets from 7:00 to 9:00 pm at Quatrefoil Library, at 1220 E Lake St, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55407. Hope to see you there! 

BOP's Bi+ Book Club's June meeting will be Wednesday 6/13 at 7pm at Quatrefoil Library! Please note that this month's meeting is on the SECOND Wednesday! We will be discussing "The Ministry of Utmost Happiness" by Arundhati Roy.
​
"The Ministry of Utmost Happiness takes us on an intimate journey of many years across the Indian subcontinent — from the cramped neighborhoods of Old Delhi and the roads of the new city to the mountains and valleys of Kashmir and beyond, where war is peace and peace is war. The tale begins with Anjum—who used to be Aftab—unrolling a threadbare Persian carpet in a city graveyard she calls home. We encounter the odd, unforgettable Tilo and the men who loved her—including Musa, sweetheart 
and ex-sweetheart, lover and ex-lover; their fates are as entwined as their arms used to be and always will be.
As this ravishing, deeply humane novel braids these lives together, it reinvents what a novel can do and can be. The Ministry of Utmost Happiness demonstrates on every page the miracle of Arundhati Roy’s storytelling gifts."
