Book review in Q Spirit

My "Concert & Closet" book's official review in Q Spirit!

http://qspirit.net/lgbtq-christian-books-2020/

A Catholic San Francisco artist shares his loving encounters with LGBTQ Christians, including closeted gay men and an LGBTQ-affirming priest, as he himself approaches the faith in the illustrated book “The Concert and the Closet: A Comic Book on Depression, Moments of Grace, and Closeted Gay Christians” by Stefan Salinas. Reading the graphic novel is like looking through the artist’s sketchbook. Handwritten notes and unedited drawings give a fresh, personal view of people and places such as Father Donal Godfrey of Most Holy Redeemer Catholic church, Grace Episcopal cathedral (including the AIDS Interfaith Memorial Chapel), Twin Peaks bar in the Castro and the Pride parade. The impressionistic style subtly explores the insider/outsider dynamic of being in/out of the church or the closet. The author’s work has been widely published and he did public art commissions for many churches. Published by Camelopardalis.
