About event
Be sure to catch Jesse Scott, Author and Keri Ault at Broadway Books in Portland, Thursday, June 18, from 6-7 p.m.!
"You Can't Get Rid of Me" is a story unlike none other, an unflinching reveal of growing up gay in the 1970s, and a quest for belonging. Heartbreaking, funny, and hopeful, and "an inspiration to every queer kid forced to pretend to be someone else to survive" writes author Amber Fraley. You will laugh and you will cry, but you won't be able to put down this amazingly honest and brave book.
Jesse Scott is former case manager for people living with HIV, former caregiver, and is currently living out his retirement in the deserts of the west coast. He continues to surprise people who have known him for years, for still being alive and kicking.
Keri Ault is a social worker living in Portland, Oregon. Her writing has appeared in the Meadowlark Reader, You Might Need to Hear This, Cirque, and Proof That I Exist. When she is not writing or working, she is trying to spend as much time outside as possible, even when it's raining.
