Join us for a live virtual event with author Carmen Maria Machado presented by Diverse & Resilient. The event coincides with National Coming Out Day, Hispanic Heritage Month and Domestic Violence Awareness Month. A watch party will be held at the Warch Campus Center Cinema at Lawrence University at 6:30 p.m. on Oct. 11. Machado will join us via live video to discuss her book “In the Dream House,” a memoir about queer, interracial intimate partner violence.
Machado is also the author of the graphic novel “The Low, Low Woods,” and the award-winning short story collection “Her Body and Other Parties.” She has been a finalist for the National Book Award and the winner of the Bard Fiction Prize, the Lambda Literary Award for Lesbian Fiction, the Lambda Literary Award for LGBTQ Nonfiction, the Brooklyn Public Library Literature Prize, the Shirley Jackson Award, and the National Book Critics Circle’s John Leonard Prize.
