Rasheed Newson recommends
Exquisite Things (2025)
Abdi Nazemian
"From the libertine days of Oscar Wilde to the stifling nightmare of Margaret Thatcher, Exquisite Things shines as an epic gay romance that spans more than a century and that brings into sharp focus the shifting ground on which queer people stand from era to era. Abdi Nazemian's enchanting prose and adept research intertwine to deliver a riveting love story made all the more electric by its inclusion of cultural and political currents. What a clever way to unearth and share queer history! This seductive novel will educate you as it woos you."
Something Close to Nothing (2024)
Tom Pyun
"This is a mesmerizing debut novel. Something Close to Nothing is a candid, funny, and shocking dissection of the relationship between one of those gay couples who look perfect in their social media posts. Tom Pyun is writing about contemporary queer life with an honesty and depth that is astounding and welcomed. He has a talent for hitting us with gut punches that turn into belly laughs."
