Online Event | Paul Lisicky Presents Later: My Life at the Edge of the World with Andrea Lawlor

Join us to celebrate Paul Lisicky’s memoir of coming of age in Provincetown during the AIDS crisis. He will be joined by Andrea Lawlor, whose novel Paul Takes the Form of a Mortal Girl also travels through the LGBTQ haven at the end of Cape Cod. They will talk about both of their books, queer communities, queer aesthetics, and community in a time of crisis – something we can all relate to now.

Paul Lisicky

Paul Lisicky is the author of five books, including The Narrow Door (a New York Times Editors’ Choice selection). He has received fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation and the National Endowment of the Arts, among others. He teaches in the MFA program at Rutgers University-Camden and lives in Brooklyn.
