About the event
Florenzer by Phil Melanson - Book Launch:
Join us at Queer Lit & Social Refuge for a special evening as we celebrate the launch of Florenzer, the powerful new book by Phil Melanson.
Florenzer is a vivid portrait of Leonardo da Vinci's coming-of-age, at a time when gay men lived under constant threat from Florentine Officers of the Night.
Phil will be in conversation with Holly Cruise, exploring the themes at the heart of the book, alongside a thoughtful and engaging discussion of its ideas, inspirations, and impact. Expect an insightful, intimate evening with opportunities to hear directly from the author, gain deeper understanding of the work, and connect with fellow readers.
Step into another time and place with up. Come celebrate, connect and discover the rich world of historical fiction at this special book launch. We’d love to see you there. Event Details
