Event Details

Explore alternative forms in queer literature through Vernal Thaw: A Novel of Love at a Slant by Franky Cannon in conversation with Jade Wilson, presented by The Library Project at the International Literature Festival Dublin.

Vernal Thaw traces the entangling and unraveling of a queer relationship through love and tumult over the course of a year in Vermont. While most texts about polyamory explore what happens when a relationship opens up, Franky Cannon reverses this trope; monogamy is the experiment and a major source of anxiety for the narrator.

Free event; booking required
