I lie in bed at night and see them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHaunted by insomnia and the past as he approaches his fiftieth birthday, the narrator of My Dead Book flips through scenes of his youth and memories of dozens of friends who are no longer with him. Living alone and working odd jobs in Wisconsin, he ruminates on survival, queer aging, his years as a teenage throwaway, and estrangement, wondering whether he has outlived his place in the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFirst published in 2021, Lippens's debut novel was hailed as \"a brutally acerbic novel of queer pessimism\" (Donna Marcus, AnOther Magazine). As Lindsay Lerman observed in Southwest Review, \"My Dead Book is not transgressive because it follows a gay man as he struggles to survive on the fringes of multiple worlds. ... It is continually transgressing. It's a living book (a living dead book), moving around in time, making tangential connections.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis new edition includes an introduction by LAMBDA Literary Award-winning American poet and writer, Eileen Myles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781635902143\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e Weight: 0.8125 pounds\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nate Lippens","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51863363551539,"sku":"9781635902143","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/3636\/7411\/files\/12183133482770.jpg?v=1754194964","url":"https:\/\/bookabaloo.com\/products\/my-dead-book","provider":"Bookabaloo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
