more details » Ann Bannon in person at The Fabulous World of Queer Pulp: Yesterday and Today at SF Main Library Tuesday, November 12, 2013 at 6:00 PM The Fabulous World of Queer Pulp: Yesterday and Today Join pulp icon Ann Bannon, historians Martin Meeker and Jenny Worley, and modern pulp writers F. Allen Sawyer and Monica Nolan for a lively discussion of the complicated, sleazy, and fabulous world of queer pulp paperbacks. We will look behind the lurid covers to explore pulp fiction's meaning for the queer community and celebrate the Barbara Grier and Donna McBride pulp collection –San Francisco Public Library's one-of-a-kind treasure trove of pulps. In the 1950s and 1960s twilight women and lavender boys swelled the pulp ranks. Subject to censorship when they first appeared, the books have since been both dismissed as salacious stories for the straight reader and celebrated as identity-building tools for an emerging gay community. Either way, queer pulps are a crucial part of LGBT history, whose influence is still felt today. Ann Bannon, famous for pulp-era novels like Odd Girl Out and Beebo Brinker, will be participating. It will be a rare opportunity to hear about this particular moment of GLBT literary history from someone who was involved in making it. Koret Auditorium. Main Library Lower Level.
