Gender Queer and Sex is a Funny Word: Original Music Inspired by Banned Books
Town Hall is proud to partner with The Bushwick Book Club Seattle presenting concerts of original music inspired by literature. Each event showcases a lineup of local, professional musicians and artists each offering a fresh response to that evening’s source text, plus extras like an audience quiz, short film, or scholarly introduction. Book choices range from whimsical to solemn, classic to contemporary, and most every place in between.
Original music inspired by Gender Queer by Maia Kobabe and Sex is a Funny Word by Cory Silverberg and Fiona Smyth
Celebrating two of the most challenged books in America, Bushwick goes big in June with a kaleidoscopic double-bill about love and self-discovery. Gender Queer is the reigning banned book champ, sitting atop ALA’s list of most challenged books in 2023. Sex is a Funny Word has been banned and challenged for just about every topic it covers: sexual identity, sexual expression, and all of the weird, wonderful body parts that make us who we are.
Heads up: Gender Queer dives into gender dysphoria and shares some mild depictions of sexual acts; Sex is a Funny Word has youth-friendly illustrations of body parts.
