Newson discusses his groundbreaking page-turning novel in conversation with Pulitzer-prize-winning author Andrew Sean Greer.
The novel follows the journey of Earl “Trey” Singleton III, a young gay Black man who leaves his affluent family in Indianapolis to navigate 1980s New York City. Trey finds himself in a place of political and social reckoning, forming connections with figures like civil rights leader Bayard Rustin and facing off against his negligent landlord, Fred Trump. As Trey immerses in gay rights activism and directly involved with ACT UP, he grapples with the complexities of family and the realities of life and death.
