  TODAYS GAY & LESBIAN EVENTS

Wednesday April 25th

Book Launch Party: The Comedown
7:30pm

celebrate the highly anticipated debut novel from local author Rebekah Frumkin! A blistering dark comedy, The Comedown is a romp across America, from the Kent State shootings to protest marches in Chicago to the Florida Everglades. Scrappy, street-smart drug dealer Reggie Marshall has never liked the simpering addict Leland Bloom-Mittwoch. But when a drug deal goes dramatically, tragically wrong and a suitcase (which may or may not contain a quarter of a million dollars) disappears, the two men and their families become hopelessly entangled. It's a mistake that sets in motion a series of events that are odd, captivating, and suspenseful. Rebekah Frumkin's fiction and essays have appeared in Granta, McSweeney's, and Best American Nonrequired Reading, among other places. She holds an MFA from the Iowa Writers' Workshop and was the 2014 recipient of the Richard E. Guthrie Memorial Grant. She is currently getting her MSJ from the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University.
