A Quote by E. M. Forster
In the presence of these women Leonard had arrived, and he spoke with a flow, an exultation, that he had seldom known.
E. M. Forster

Featured Listen
A Passage to India is a masterful exploration of cultural tensions and misunderstandings. Published in 1924, this classic novel remains relevant. Forster's nuanced portrayal of both British and Indian characters earned the novel critical acclaim and accolades, including the James Tait Black Memorial Prize for fiction. In 1984, A Passage to India was also adapted into a successful film.
Featured Article: Audible Essentials—The Top 100 LGBTQIA+ Listens of All Time
While LGBTQIA+ creators have been around for millennia, it’s only recently that we’ve been hearing more diverse, more queer-authored, and more queer-performed stories about the entire spectrum of LGBTQIA+ experiences and identities. This list—just like the community it represents—is meant to be fluid. But most importantly, it’s meant to celebrate and reflect on the issues faced by LGBTQIA+ people everywhere.
