Join us for a virtual author talk with novelist, playwright, and essayist Margaret Vandenburg in conversation with cultural critic and scholar Monica Miller discussing Vandenburg’s novel, Craze.

In this sharp and compelling work, Vandenburg draws from deeply researched queer history to craft a vivid, irreverent narrative set in the Roaring Twenties that pulses with wit, desire, and defiance. Through rich historical detail and imaginative storytelling, Craze resurrects hidden worlds and forgotten lives, offering a dazzling exploration of queer culture, community, and survival.

“Drawn closely from deeply researched queer history that far too few people know, Margaret Vandenburg’s Craze is a pansy romp!”

— Hugh Ryan, Stonewall Award–winning author of The Women’s House of Detention (2024 Lavender Literary Society Title) and When Brooklyn Was Queer
