Corporate bookselling wants frictionless consumption. Radical booksellers offer something better: democratic governance, community space, political education and the possibility that a bookstore can help build a movement.

@lindseydanis.bsky.social is out on the road for her new book. Next stop, @belmontbooks.bsky.social #booksky #books #queer #lgbtq #travel

ICYMI, my LGBTQ travel book came out yesterday! The Rumpus called (Out) On the Road "thoughtful and meticulously researched" ☺️ It's an unapologetically queer guide to traveling the world as your full self, with a blend of personal stories and practical tips. 🌈

(Out) on the Road is now out in the world! Happy pub day @lindseydanis.bsky.social #booksky #queer #travel #lgbtq #queertravel

"Finding one’s way home begins in finding one’s way to self...that’s certainly what 'After Hours' is." Jeremy T. Wilson's interview with Ben Tanzer, on his new book "After Hours: Scorsese, Grief and the Grammar of Cinema" @igpublishing.bsky.social is out now. chireviewofbooks.com/2025/05/12/a...

12 Must Read Books for May: chireviewofbooks.com/2025/05/01/1... Tanzer’s work is always insightful, and his latest book is a perfect example of his talent. After Hours is a perfect fusion: part Roger Ebert, part Joan Didion, and wholly Ben Tanzer @chicagorevbooks.bsky.social #booksky #book #movies
