IDAHOBIT Talk: Sam Elkin and Jasper Peach poster with date, time and location

Join us for a special IDAHOBIT author talk. Sam Elkin will be discussing his debut memoir, Detachable Penis: A Queer Legal Saga, with author Jasper Peach.

Through an examination of Elkin’s legal casework and law reform efforts, Elkin’s memoir offers a kaleidoscopic view of LGBTIQA+ communities living on the margins. This politically sharp narrative offers a nuanced account of the lateral violence, poor mental health and activist burn out that besets the contemporary LGBTIQA+ rights movement.

Copies of Sam’s book, and Jasper Peach’s You’ll be a Wonderful Parent will be available to purchase on the night thanks to Hares & Hyenas Bookstore
