gaar adams’s guest privileges NAMED A FINALIST FOR LAMMY AWARD IN LGBTQ+ NONFICTION
We’re excited to share that Gaar Adams’s memoir GUEST PRIVILEGES was named a finalist for the Lambda Literary Award in LGBTQ+ Nonfiction! Many thanks to Lambda Literary for recognizing this important book and including it among a pool of incredible finalists. Congratulations to all the finalists!
Weaving memoir with unprecedented reportage, Guest Privileges is a decade-long journey of discovery through the clandestine queer communities of the Gulf States, and into the very nature of home and belonging.
From the uproarious Filipino salon workers throwing secret drag parties, to a courageous Pakistani farmhand helping his compatriots smuggle themselves across borders, a kaleidoscope of unforgettable characters challenges his assumptions on finding a place in the world—for others, and for himself.
Check out all the finalists here. Winners will be announced at the Lambda Literary Award Ceremony, which will take place in-person on Friday, June 12 at Sony Hall in NYC.
