(W/A) Mike Curato. When AJ moves to Seattle in the early aughts* he’s ready to reinvent himself as a gay Asian man but his dreams hit reality fast with no friends* no job* and an apartment so far out* “not even lesbians live there.” Then a spilled drink at a bar introduces him to K* a glamorous drag queen; John* a shy gamer; and Steven* a reckless flirt. AJ’s “Boy Luck Club” helps him find love* pride* and belonging until a brutal attack tests everything they know about friendship and family. Meticulously observed and gorgeously illustrated* Gaysians is a fierce* funny* and tender story of queer resilience and self-discovery.
