T his week I talk about THEFT by BK Loren and THE BIG BANG SYMPHONY by Lucy Jane Bledsoe, I also direct you to a lovely reading of Stuart Dybek's story "Paper Latern" read by ZZ Packer on the New Yorker Fiction Podcast--not sure if it counts as queer, but it felt that way to me so I send you that way.
I also talk about the two books my lovely wife read when she first started to realize she might be gay. Very dark, very grim books. Perhaps not the best choice she could have made.

You should totally check out the New Yorker Fiction Podcast. Great way to learn about new authors and hear some fantastic talk about how great fiction works. The episode I talked about this week featured ZZ Packer reading Stuart Dybek.
Books I talked about this week plus microreviews from twitter
BAISE MOI by Virginie Despentes
SHE'S COME UNDONE by Wally Lamb
THE BIG BANG SYMPHONY by Lucy Jane Bledsoe
THEFT by BK LOREN
BAISE MOI by Virginie Despentes. A wretched book of scum and villainy. Compelling, provocative,but too distasteful for me to revisit, parse.

SHE’S COME UNDONE by Wally Lamb. Gripping. Completely committed to a lot of terrible things happening. But it stays wry and funny. Liked it?

THEFT by BK Loren. Beautiful setting, story is low key and restrained, but then you realize you’re enthralled. Appealing characters.

THE BIG BANG SYMPHONY by Lucy Jane Bledsoe. 3 fantastic female MCs! Science! Art! Workplace drama! The terror and beauty of Antarctica!
