Join us for an evening with Martin Pousson, author of Black Sheep Boy.
Meet a wild-hearted boy from the bayou who, In a series of tender and tough stories, encounters gender outlaws, drag queen renegades, and a rogues gallery of sex-starved priests, perverted teachers, and murderous bar owners. To escape his haunted history, the wild-hearted boy must shed his old skin and make a new self. With Black Sheep Boy, Cajun legends, queer fantasies, and universal myths converge into a powerful work of counter-realism. Martin Pousson was born and raised in the Cajun French bayou.
