Downtown Huntsville Library
Unsung Voices
Monday, March 1, 2027 1 p.m. – 2 p.m.
Join us at Downtown Huntsville Library this year as we explore writers from the 20th through the 21st century that you may or may not be very familiar with. This month we are reading The Gilda Stories by Jewelle Gomez.
Jewelle Lydia Gomez, born September 11, 1948, is an American author, poet, critic and playwright. Describing herself as a possible "foremother of Afrofuturism" (a cultural aesthetic that addresses themes and concerns of the African diaspora through technoculture and speculative fiction), Gomez is the author of seven books, including the double Lambda Literary Award-winning novel, The Gilda Stories (1991). This novel reframes traditional vampire mythology and follows the adventures of an escaped slave who comes of age over two hundred years.
