Description:

Kevin Killian has long been considered one of the finest, if unheralded, writers of experimental gay fiction. His autobiographical novels Shy and Bedrooms Have Windows are considered classics of contemporary fiction. Now Arctic Summer, set in 1952, re-imagines the coming out story and makes us review how we read the motif. Killian's characters are gay, young, in love, and confused, but in the swirl of his charged, sexual, metaphoric prose they become both archetypal and idiosyncratic.
