Join Out North Reads for a discussion of Box Hill—exploring leather culture, identity, desire, and queer community. 21+ welcome. Set against the backdrop of Britain's leather scene in the 1970s and 1980s, Box Hill explores themes of desire, power exchange, self-discovery, identity, and belonging through the eyes of a young man navigating a transformative relationship. The novel offers a unique lens into queer history and culture while raising timeless questions about connection, autonomy, and authenticity. Whether you're part of the leather community, interested in LGBTQIA+ literature, or simply looking to connect with others through meaningful discussion, you'll find a welcoming and judgment-free space at Out North Reads. No formal literary background is required—just bring your thoughts, curiosity, and an open mind.
