The inspired collective of community activists that rescued Glad Day Books from oblivion has revived the Proud Voices reading series, plainly grasping the fact that bookstores cannot survive unless they host literary events. “We see Pride as an opportunity to tell our stories and connect to community,” says Michael Erickson, speaking for the bookstore team. The iconic store presents three days of readings, Friday to Sunday (June 29 to July 1), with a great slate that includes Nalo Hopkinson, S. Bear Bergman and Waawaate Fobister, to name just a few. See Readings.
