![]() ![]() I’m willing to bet that if you’re an LGBT reader and you think you don’t know who Elisa Rolle is, you actually do – chances are someone in the LGBT world has linked to one of her reviews about their work. That said, nonfiction can also bring joys.ĭays of Love: Celebrating LGBT History One Story at a Time, by Elisa Rolle, is one of those joys. So, if you wonder why I rarely talk nonfiction, that’s the answer. It’s not that I don’t find nonfiction enthralling, it’s actually quite the opposite – the reality of nonfiction makes it hit me all the harder.Ĭase in point, I purchased The Up Stairs Lounge Arson: Thirty-Two Deaths in a New Orleans Gay Bar, Jby Clayton Delery-Edwards and I am inching my way through it because it disturbs me so. When I do, I generally read biographies, and try to read biographies about people whose lives follow lines very different from my own (and I try doubly hard to find biographies about people whose voices aren’t as often heard). It’s pretty rare I step into the world of nonfiction. ![]()
