Join the Center of the American West as we welcome author Taylor Brorby to discuss his 2022 book, Boys and Oil: Growing Up Gay in a Fractured Land, with Professor Bud Coleman, Roe Green Endowed Chair in Theatre at CU Boulder.

Set at the edge of the 100th meridian in North Dakota and westward, Brorby’s memoir speaks to issues related to extractive economies, queerness, disability, and climate change. An audience Q&A and book signing will follow. This event is free but space and books are limited.
