Drawn in by the promise of bookbinding and sapphic secrets, hosts Amber and Annika discuss Endpapers by Jennifer Savran Kelly.
Dawn is at a point in her life where her art feels blocked, she doesn’t know where her relationship is going, and she isn’t sure who she is and how she wants to be perceived. When she comes across a letter on the back of a lesbian pulp novel cover, hidden in the endpapers of a book she is restoring for work, she thinks that maybe finding answers to that mystery will help her figure out her own life.
Discussion topics include: finding the people who will support you as you are, the Lucas haters club©, gender, art as a form of expression and protest, and texting in 2003.
CW: homophobia, violence, panic attacks, anxiety
