Hello all,
in the coming weeks there will be three in-person launches of The Richard Dyer Reader (co-edited by myself and Jaap Kooijman, and recently published by BFI/Bloomsbury). Please join us if you can!
The first event is in Amsterdam next Tuesday, 31 October, at the OBA Theater and hosted by IHLIA LGBTI Heritage:

Confirmed speakers for this launch include Bibi Fadlalla, Wigbertson Julian Isenia, and Sudeep Dasgupta; Richard will also be in conversation with Eliza Steinbock. If you would like to attend, please email IHLIA to reserve a seat ([log in to unmask]).
The second event is in St Andrews on Wednesday 15 November. Richard will be delivering a lecture based on one of the new essays included in the Reader: 'Fond of Little Tunes: Homosexuality and Music in Hollywood Cinema'. There are only a handful of tickets left for this one! If you can make it, here's the Eventbrite page to book a place:

Finally, there will be a launch at BFI Southbank in London on Friday 8 December. Richard will introduce a screening of Meet Me in St. Louis at 18:10; this will be followed by a Q&A between Richard and Rosalind Galt in the Reuben Library at 20:25. Tickets for this are not yet available: please keep an eye on the BFI Southbank website!
Any queries, please just drop me a line. Hope to see some of you at one of these events!
