Lambda Literary Award finalist Jacqueline Taylor, dean of DePaul University's College of Communication, will read from her nominated book, Waiting for the Call, at 7 p.m. Tuesday, May 6, at the Gerber/Hart Library, 1127 W. Granville Ave., Chicago.
Taylor, whose book was nominated in the women's memoir/biography category, is one of five Lambda Literary finalists reading from their books that evening. The event is being hosted by the Gerber/Hart Library and the Lambda Literary Foundation, the country's leading organization for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender literature.
Taylor's memoir takes readers from her childhood in a strict evangelical household in the foothills of the Appalachians to her adulthood in Chicago, where she and her partner are raising a family. Told in the great storytelling tradition of the American South, Taylor demonstrates how one woman bridged the gulf between faith and sexual identity without abandoning her principles.
