A decades-long friendship is torn asunder after an encounter with a stranger in the desert. Each episode I’ll be reading a new chapter from my non-fiction manuscript, F*ck Bubble, to a close friend. F*ck Bubble is the near twenty year true story of a 1999 hookup in New York City that morphed into a deep but often turbulent friendship – one that got even more complicated after an unlikely encounter in the Utah desert in 2016. It’s a story of serendipity and how revisiting the past can sometimes set oneself free in the present. Weaving the personal with the historical, F*ck Bubble also documents certain aspects of LGBTQ+ life in America and abroad from the nineties till now. With 19 friends from Scotland to LA, Brooklyn to Brazil, I’ll discuss the reading, talk about how we met and how life can change with a blink of an eye, a twist of the head. Intended for a mature audience, listener discretion is advised.
