This smart, playful novel counters the idea of the suburbs as a place queers leave and plays out the radical implications of staying put. (Specifically, in Watford.)‘…evolves from simple vignettes (think a Richard Linklater film, but queer) to a radical, empowering alternate vision of suburban life (for this, there is no parallel). Levene’s background as a poet is evident in her precise storytelling language and unforced ability to paint the mundane as beautiful. As the story moves from a recognisable quasi-present to a surprising future, every development and reveal reaffirms the truth that, whatever we create, human solidarity is our way forward.’ –The SkinnyHannah will be in conversation with Jeremy Atherton Lin, another author fascinated by suburban life.Hannah Levene is the author of Greasepaint (Nightboat Books, 2024).
