Join Green Apple Books on Tuesday, June 23 to welcome Christian Bancroft for the release of his book, A Ghost Has No Fantasies, at 9th Ave! Featuring Caroline Mar and Mukethe Kawinzi.

About A Ghost Has No Fantasies
Through haunting poetry and prose, A Ghost Has No Fantasies illuminates the forgotten voices of LGBTQ+ individuals who suffered under Nazi persecution. Drawing from archival documents, survivor testimonies, and Gestapo files, Christian Bancroft weaves together the intimate stories of those imprisoned under Paragraph 175 and beyond — gay men, lesbians, and transgender individuals whose experiences have long remained in the shadows of Holocaust memory.
