It’s time for summer reading. Have you downloaded your Summer Reading & Writing Bingo card yet?

To help you complete your Bingo cards, we’re inviting members of the literary community to choose a Bingo square and share their must-reads for that category.

First up is Dustin Schell of the Still Queer Reading Series. Dustin and his husband, Alexander Chee, co-curate the series, which launched virtually at Still North Books & Bar in Hanover, New Hampshire, this spring.

Dustin’s Bingo square

Dustin chose two books for the Bingo square: Read a memoir by a person of color.

The authors of both of these books will join Still Queer later in the summer for a reading and conversation. Be sure to follow Still Queer on Instagram, so you don’t miss these talented authors. Thank you, Dustin!

Good Talk: A Memoir in Conversations is a singular graphic memoir by self-taught author/creator, Mira Jacob, telling the story of the conversations she began having with her son after the 2016 election, and the places in her memory and imagination these conversations took her. Jacob is Asian American, her husband is white and Jewish, and their son is mixed race, and her records of her attempts to bridge their worlds with love and attention are moving, provocative and profound.

Fairest is a groundbreaking memoir by trans Filipina journalist and editor Meredith Talusan. Born in the Philippines, Talusan writes movingly of having to negotiate albinism, intense poverty, Asian colorism, beauty culture, beauty privilege and gay male identity on her way to coming into her power, and herself.
