Tell Me
Queer stories about love, loneliness, the surreal, and the self
Sing, I
Inside Half Moon Bay, a sparkling California coastal town, Ester Prynn is dulled and diminished by struggles with work, money, marriage, her senile father, a troubled teenage son, and old guilt she can’t assuage. When a masked gunman robs the convenience store where Ester works, he upends her fraught life and propels her toward passions buried, like singing; desires discovered, like a same-sex infatuation; and wrongs righted, like bringing the violent assailant to justice. But as the armed robber commits new crimes and continues to evade capture, the trauma from the holdup climbs, threatening Ester’s newfound delights and longings and forcing her to contend with her burning regrets and what-ifs. In the reckoning between Ester and these growing, molten upsets, she’s faced with enormous choices and must determine what and who can bring her to her best life.
A Small Apocalypse
A gorgeously wrought queer exploration of what it means to exist in the in-between
Valor
In this short-story collection, myth and folklore interweave with present-day realities in Turkey, touching on ethnicity, religious dogma, gender, and sexuality.
