From popular LGBTQ advice
columnist and writer John Paul Brammer comes a hilarious, heartwarming
memoir-in-essays chronicling his journey growing up as a queer, mixed-race kid
in America’s heartland to becoming the “Chicano Carrie Bradshaw” of his
generation. JP will be joined in conversation with Meredith
Goldstein, author and advice columnist for
The Boston
Globe
to discuss his forthcoming
memoir,
¡Hola Papi!, In ¡Hola Papi!, JP shares his story of growing up biracial and
in the closet against the backdrop of America’s heartland, while attempting to
answer some of life’s toughest questions: How do I let go of the past? How do I
become the person I want to be? Is there such a thing as being
too
gay
? Should I hook up with my grade school
bully now that he’s out of the closet? Questions we’ve all asked ourselves,
surely. Sometimes the best advice to dole outcomes from looking within,
which is what JP has done in his column and book—and readers have flocked to
him for honest, heartfelt wisdom, and of course a few laughs. With wit and
wisdom in equal measure,
¡Hola Papi! is for anyone—gay,
straight, and everything in between—who has ever taken stock of their unique
place in the world, offering considered advice, intelligent discourse, and fits
of laughter along the way.
