Description

When D’s mercurial friend Lamb vanishes just before they’re set to move in together, the shock becomes a lifelong haunting—made unbearable when Lamb’s death is revealed three years later. Decades afterward, D turns to Lamb’s journals, letters, poetry, and stories to piece together a portrait of a sensitive misfit learning to survive in a world that repeatedly misunderstands him. Spanning their first meeting at an elite all-boys school to the charged chaos of 1990s San Francisco, the narrative unfolds in intimate fragments that capture tenderness and rebellion, anguish and adventure. With a lyrical, collage-like style, this coming-of-age tale explores belonging, queer identity, and the lingering aftershocks of the AIDS crisis—an aching, darkly luminous awakening for Generation X.
