SUMMARY:English Gay Literature Circle · Freiburg
DESCRIPTION:We will be discussing the book: \n\n\n\nMohamed Mbougar Sarr: PureMen – A Novel\n\n\n\n\nA young professor grapples with homophobia in Muslim Senegal in this searching\, heart-wrenching novel from the National Book Award–longlisted author of The Most Secret Memory of Men. \n\n\n\nA viral video makes the rounds in Dakar\, showing an incensed crowd that gathers to dig up a grave and drag the corpse from holy ground. When Ndéné\, a French literature teacher\, watches it\, he’s surprisingly affected. Who was this man\, and what could he have done to deserve such a fate? The answer soon becomes clear: he was a “góor-jigéen\,” one of the so-called “men-women\,” the shameful label given to homosexuals\, cross-dressers\, or any man who lives outside the accepted norm. \n\n\n\nHaunted by the video\, Ndéné sets out to learn more. With the help of a friend who works in night life\, he explores a hidden side of Dakar\, away from the rigid Islam of his family and university. Although he feels a certain disgust for homosexuality\, he’s moved by the suffering and resilience of the people he meets. But the further he goes\, the more he doubts his own identity\, threatening to become an object of suspicion and scorn himself. \n\n\n\nA powerful\, nuanced portrait of queerness in a conservative society\, Pure Men asks the fundamental question of how to find the courage to be true to yourself\, whatever the cost. \n\n\n\n\nLink to Amazon.de\n\n\n\nBook and discussion in English. New members and guests always welcome. \n\n\n\nFor information call: +49-761-25479 \n\n\n\nThe „English Gay Literary Circle“ meets once a month.
