The author of the frequently banned book Flamer comes to Arlington, VA, on Wed., Oct. 8th, at 6:30 p.m.!
Join Arlington Public Library for a presentation with Mike Curato and discuss topics such as banned books and censorship.
Curato is an author and illustrator of picture books and graphic novels. His highly acclaimed and 2024 Top Ten Challenged Book debut young adult graphic novel, Flamer, was awarded the Lambda Literary Award. Gaysians, which came out in June 2025, is heartwarming story following four gay Asians navigating love, identity, and friendship — a celebration of queer chosen family. Meticulously observed and gorgeously illustrated, Gaysians is a fierce, funny, and tender story of queer resilience and self-discovery.
