Happy publication day to Jordan Tannahill’s unforgettable, heart-and mind-warping novel THE LIVING REALM, a book that somehow, as Garth says, covers “the whole of life” in under 150 pages. Like Dennis Johnson’s TRAIN DREAMS or, most of all, Sebald’s THE RINGS OF SATURN, Jordan’s novel collapses time and loss and love and history into something magically tangible and simultaneously ethereal and universal. 

But obviously because this is Jordan, his novel is an absolute blast to read: wistful and quietly funny and, naturally, containing (in the words of Kirkus) “one of the oddest—and kinkiest—sex scenes in recent gay fiction.” It is the perfect, lingering, end of summer story in every way; it is as accomplished and stunning a novel as I have ever published, something that will stay with you and your past, present, and future selves. 

Love you @jordan.tannahill and I can’t wait for more. Cover and hand lettering by @na_son, my wife. Thank you publicist icon @chill.brill, wonderful copublishers @jklambert16 & @kishani, and @mollielglick for being the best. OUT NOW ♾️🐗🌅💦🍃🫂

Thank God It’s Queer presents GO (1999) preceded by WAKING UP FROM A NAP ON A LONG DAY OF DOING NOTHING, the new short film by @thomjh (writer/director of MATINEE BABY and co-host of THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW at the Clinton Street Theater).

Set on Christmas Eve, 1999, GO stars Academy Award-winner Sarah Polley as a checkout clerk who gets duped into buying ecstasy for a couple of gay narcs (Jay Mohr and Scott Wolff). From there, this twist-a-minute screenplay takes you on a ride that must be ridden to be believed. Featuring James Duval & Timothy Olyphant at their hottest, and jaw-dropping cameos by Jane Krakowski and Melissa McCarthy, GO is a turn-of-the-century flashback you didn’t know you needed. 

About WAKING UP FROM A NAP ON A LONG DAY OF DOING NOTHING: “With the guidance of his best friend and mystical grandfather, a young painter–anxiously awaiting his first gallery show–embarks on a surreal skateboard odyssey through Portland to discover the true value of his art.” Featuring the Hollywood’s own @notcarlarossi, this award-winning film was shot in more than a dozen iconic Portland locations, made possible by a community crowdfunding campaign with over seventy-five local donors and sponsorships by more than thirty local businesses. Welcome to the art life.

Happy publication day to Missouri Williams’ sui generis second novel THE VIVSECTORS, a book as spikily original, ferociously smart, gleefully provocative and bleakly hilarious as you’ll ever read. It’s somewhere between Lars von Trier and Faulkner, set in a campus love story and also amongst a group of rogue, storytelling gardeners. You kind of just need to read it to get it; Missouri’s mind makes me very happy. It’s exactly the type of fiction I know will stand the test of time—and also freak you out. I adore you @missouriwilliams and am so grateful for our second book!! You make this job so fun. 

Thank you to my partner in all things Missouri and more @john.s.ash, @kishani for editing/publishing with me, pr icon @chill.brill, @thomcolligan for the cover, @eliza.rudalevige for everything. Out now here and the UK ⛲️🪏🧑‍🌾🔪🔪🔪
