A selection of West Coast authors who are finalists for the 21st Annual Lambda Literary Awards (awards to be given in NYC on May 28).


The Lambda Literary Awards seek to recognize excellence in the field of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender literature. Each year, over 80 judges -- writers, booksellers, librarians, journalists -- assess the entries in more than 20 categories.


Lambda Executive Director Charles Flowers will introduce the authors.
