📚Wide Awake by David Levithan
A queer coming-of-age novel set against a surreal near-future election, Wide Awake blends first love, political awakening, and protest culture. As a gay teen is swept into a youth-led resistance movement, the book asks how hope, solidarity, and love survive when democracy feels fragile—and why showing up still matters.
Queer Canon – January 14 at 6:30
📚Christopher and His Kind by Christopher Isherwood
Part memoir, part historical reckoning, this candid account of queer life in Weimar-era Berlin traces desire, exile, and survival under the rise of fascism. Isherwood revisits his youth with clarity and honesty, offering one of the most important firsthand portraits of pre-war queer culture ever written.
Resistance Reader – January 21 at 6:30
📚The Death of Democracy by Benjamin Carter Hett
A gripping history of how democracy collapsed in Germany, this book dismantles the myth that authoritarianism arrives overnight. Hett shows how legal norms, political complacency, and elite compromise paved the way for Nazism—making it an urgent, unsettling read for anyone concerned about democracy today.
