Nova Scotia House

Description

FINALIST FOR THE LAMBDA LITERARY AWARD IN GAY FICTIONNAMED A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR BY THE WASHINGTON POST AND THE GUARDIAN

Nova Scotia House takes us to the heart of a relationship, a community and an era, both a love story and a lament.

In this profound meditation on grief, Johnny looks back at his relationship with his life partner, Jerry, after his AIDS-related death. When they met, nearly thirty years ago, Johnny was 19, Jerry was 45. They made a life on their own terms in Jerry’s flat: 1, Nova Scotia House. Johnny is still there today–but Jerry is gone, and so is the world they knew.

Intimate, visionary, and profoundly original–as well as raw, hot, and hilarious–Nova Scotia House marks the debut of a vibrant new voice in contemporary fiction.
