On Friday, June 07, 2019, at 5:00 PM, Rainy Day Books entire Staff will leave our Bookstore and go to Unity Temple on The Plaza, Sanctuary in preparation for our SOLD OUT Tan France Author Event.
SOLD OUT EVENT OVERVIEW: Tan France, Star of Netflix's Queer Eye, will be In Conversation with Vivien Jennings, Founder & President of Rainy Day Books about his New Hardcover Memoir Naturally Tan.
ABOUT THE BOOK: From one of the Stars of Netflix's overnight sensation "Queer Eye", Tan France's Memoir Naturally Tan has his signature wit, style, and tells the origin story of the first openly gay, Muslim man on Television.
In this heartfelt, funny, touching memoir, Tan France tells his origin story for the first time. With his trademark wit, humor, and radical compassion, Tan reveals what it was like to grow up gay in a traditional Muslim family, as one of the few people of color in Doncaster, England. He illuminates his winding journey of coming of age, finding his voice (and style!), and how he finally came out to his family at the age of 34, revealing that he was happily married to the love of his life, a Mormon cowboy from Salt Lake City.
In Tan's own words, "The book is meant to spread joy, personal acceptance, and most of all understanding. Each of us is living our own private journey, and the more we know about each other, the healthier and happier the world will be."
