SUMMER BOOK CLUB FROM KIMPTON HOTELS X LIT HUB

Presented by

Sun’s out, books are out. Three great books to be exact—and the new season of our curated book club and lending program for travelers with Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants. Each travel season, our editorial team hand-picks books and shares ways to join in on the discussions on social media and through virtual and in-person events. For those staying at participating Kimpton Hotels across the US and Canada, you can also borrow our book selections from the front desk at no cost through Kimpton’s book lending program.

This summer, we have selected three great books by incredible LGBTQIA+ authors to read. These titles will be available to check out from the front desk of 31 participating Kimpton hotels in the U.S., or you can order and read them at home and join the book club conversation on Kimpton x Literary Hub Book Club Facebook Page.

Without further ado, the summer book club selections are…

Fairest by Meredith Talusan

Meredith Talusan's memoir spans her journey from a childhood in the Philippines to her studies in queer theory at Harvard and eventual transition. The book is at once a compelling personal story and absorbing meditation on the complexity of cultural and gender identity.

This Is Major by Shayla Lawson

This is Major is a celebration of the creativity, ingenuity, and history of Black women. With an emphasis on Lawson's personal insights about the ways that Black women navigate the contemporary cultural landscape, her observations and analysis about sexuality, freedom, and icons of Black womanhood are essential reading.

A History of My Brief Body by Billy-Ray Belcourt

Growing up on the Driftpile First Nation, Billy-Ray Belcourt comes to understand himself, Indigenous identity, gender, and sexuality against the backdrop of colonial violence. His collection of essays moves between these ideas and readings of canonical queer writers, bringing his life into conversation with a larger queer history and legacy.
