LGBTQIA+ Book Club: “Lonely Crowds,” by Stephanie Wambugu

The LGBTQIA+ Book Club meets once a month throughout the academic semester. It provides a thoughtful and engaging environment where participants can delve into nuanced discussions, reflect on complex themes, and connect with fellow students, staff, and faculty. Our selections span various genres and topics.

For November, our book is Lonely Crowds, by Stephanie Wambugu. This debut novel traces the decades-long friendship between Ruth and Maria, two outsiders who escape difficult childhoods and enter New York City’s early-1990s art world. As their lives diverge and ambition strains their bond, the novel explores identity, intimacy, and class.
