"Harry Tanner's book is a fascinating, exploratory investigation into the origins of homophobia. The attitudes and consequences of LGBTQ+ hate today in the West can be traced back through fragments of ancient history, and Tanner embarks on an expansive journey to discover their roots. From queer love being celebrated in ancient Greece to sinister ideas sweeping across the ancient Mediterranean, this is a must-read for history lovers."
"From the award-winning author of Fiebre Tropical, Julián Delgado Lopera returns with a novel set in Colombia's underground queer scene. Lopera's novel follows Ignacio and his daughter, Valentina, reeling from the death of his wife and her mother. He's haunted by the death and his past in Bogotá's queer underground with a shining queer named Mamadora Eléctrica. Pretend You're Dead and I Carry You is a tale of self-destruction and also the beauty of chosen family."
"Fifteen-year-old Mina loves her two best friends, but the trio quickly unravels after an unexpected kiss. Suddenly, their special unit crumbles, and Mina's life becomes fragile. Looking back at this time as an adult, Mina realises her longing is shaped by this experience of girlhood desire. A portrait of girl culture in one suburban Midwest summer, Girl's Girl explores how love can change the way we love others."
