LGBTQIA+ Book Club: “Taproot”

For March, we’ll read Taproot, by Keezy Young, a beautifully illustrated graphic novel that blends romance, fantasy, and the supernatural. The story follows a gardener who can see ghosts and a historian who captures his heart. Through its colorful artwork and digestible storytelling, Taproot explores themes of love, grief, queer intimacy, and what it means to nurture connection both with others and with the past.

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, ensuring that each meeting presents an opportunity to broaden our understanding of LGBTQ+ experiences and narratives.
