Join us Wednesday, June 4th for our next Cactus Book Club. This month’s featured organization Wisconsin LGBTQ History Project will lead the discussion on Candy Darling: Dreamer, Icon, Superstar by Cynthia Carr. “Warhol superstar and transgender icon Candy Darling was glamour personified, but she was without a real place in the world. Packed with tales of luminaries and gossip and meticulous research, immersive and laced with Candy’s words and her friends' recollections, Cynthia Carr's Candy Darling is Candy's long-overdue return to the spotlight.” Recommended bookseller: Boswell Book Company.

ABOUT US: Cactus Book Club (CBC) meets on the first Wednesday of the month from 5:30-7:30 in the venue room at Cactus Club. Each month a different business, community organization, collective, or mutual aid group chooses the book & recommended bookseller then leads the discussion. We read sociopolitical fiction and non-fiction, with a focus on works by women, LGBTQ+, BIPOC, and/or otherwise under-published groups. You don’t have to finish reading the book to attend. All book club meetings are free. No registration required. 18+. CBC is part of our ongoing Cactus+ programming. Contact: kelly@cactusplus.org with questions.
