Then, on Sunday, October 26, we're excited to collaborate with Falls Church City Schools Pride Alliance on another thought-provoking local author event.

Cara Gormally, a biology professor at D.C.'s Gallaudet University as well as an artist, will be at Mary Riley Styles Public Library to discuss their debut graphic memoir Everything Is Fine, I'll Just Work Harder. It depicts the author's struggle to process the trauma of sexual assault through therapy, recalling Alison Bechdel's Fun Home with its dry humor, spare visuals, and nuanced portrait of queer self-discovery.

A book signing will follow the talk; copies can be purchased on site or reserved for pick-up at the event by calling (571) 459-2653. Free registration is requested, though not required, through Mary Riley Styles Public Library.
