Perspectives Online Book Club: The Sleeping Car Porter by Suzette Mayr

Online

This month's title is The Sleeping Car Porter by Suzette Mayr. Read the book before the meeting and then join the discussion! This novel brings to life an important part of Black history in North America, from the perspective of a gay man living in a culture that renders him invisible in two ways. Download the eBook through the Library's OverDrive service, or place a request for a print copy through our online catalogue. 

We read books from diverse authors who write about life experiences similar to their own on topics such as genders, abilities, and cultures. This book club is online using Zoom. Register for each month's title separately. English learners: CLB 8+ is best to take part. Questions? Please email SGeorge@winnipeg.ca.
