It may be hard to imagine that Dua Lipa<\/strong> has time to read, given all that she’s doing to promote her new album,\u00a0Radical Optimism<\/em>, but she’s officially announced the May pick<\/strong><\/a> for her Service95 Book Club.<\/p>\n

The book is Swimming in the Dark<\/em> by Tomasz Jedrowski<\/strong>, about two young men who fall in love in Communist Poland in the ’80s, when such relationships were forbidden. Dua describes it as a “beautiful coming-of-age love story” that’s “poetic and tender,” yet “burning with a quiet rage at the persecution the LGBTQ+ community in Poland has suffered for decades and continues to fight against today.”<\/p>\n

As part of this month’s Book Club content, Dua’s done a Q&A<\/strong><\/a> with Tomasz. For context, you can read an article<\/strong><\/a> about LGBTQ rights in Poland; Tomasz has also contributed a reading<\/strong><\/a> list and a playlist<\/strong><\/a> of songs he listened to while writing the book.\u00a0<\/p>\n
