As part of QUEERGURU’S quest researching the hotbed of queer East London, we came across Justin David as he was just launching his debut novel with a title we would have loved for our own memoir HE’S DONE EVER SO WELL FOR HIMSELF. A self-proclaimed working-class queer writer Justin is also a photographer, publisher and full-time teacher.
He’s passionate about living in Dalston with his partner Nathan Evans with whom he has formed Inkandescent a new publishing imprint to nurture and produce the work of up and coming writers. He called us via Facetime from his bedroom and although we discussed many things, I foolishly failed to ask him if the rope so prominently displayed behind him was part of another passion. Maybe next time.
Justin Loeber cannot stop talking about his new book ‘Get Out Your Way Guide to Life’ as we found out when we met the irrepressible author and publicist and one-time-would-be-pop-star at the Miami Book Fair
The Last Resort is a wonderful new documentary that celebrates the work of Andy Sweet & Gary Monroe two photographers who brilliantly captured the authentic Miami Beach of the 1970’s and 1980s’ producing some stunning iconic images, before Sweet’s tragic murder in 1982. queerguru talks to filmmaker Kareem Tabsch (who co-directed the film with Dennis Scholl ) on the eve of its World Premiere at Miami Jewish Film Festival (images courtesy Andy Sweet Photo Legacy )
Writer/director Katherine Dieckmann talks about Strange Weather her new movie, and in particular the powerful potentially award-winning performance of Holly Hunter in this intriguing Southern drama.
