Proud Pink Sky Reading with Redfern Jon Berrett 01.04.23 in Berlin, Lettrétage in der Veteranenstr.

A glittering metropolis of 24 million people, Berlin is a bustling world of pride parades, polyamorous trysts, and even an official gay language. Its distant radio broadcasts are a lifeline for teenagers William and Gareth, but is there a place for them in the deeply divided city? Meanwhile, young mother Cissie loves Berlin’s towering high rises and chaotic multiculturalism, yet she’s never left her heterosexual district—not until she discovers a walled-off slum of perpetual twilight, home to the city’s forbidden trans residents.

Challenging assumptions of sex and gender, Redfern Jon Barrett’s Proud Pink Sky questions how much we must sacrifice to find identity and community. Set in an alternate Berlin that’s the world’s first gay state, this novel is an exploration of LGBTQ+ identities and dynamics that’s written for all audiences.
