The Lede to Our Undoing
1970s rust-belt America. The era of civil rights, women's rights, and gay rights, as well as the birth of the environmental movement. Twins Jake and Wren are raised in the white-flight suburb of Laurentine, not far from an industrial metropolis that was named in a much greener time the Forest City. The twin's parents, Harry and Florrie, are doing their best to keep their offspring on the straight and narrow, along the lines of what today we would call MAGA America, though before it got the name. But the two are not very good at coloring inside the lines. Wren falls in love with an African-American youth named Donald, and Jake falls in love first with Romeo and then Peacoat––with traumatic results. Their story is told by the family mutt, Molly, whose outsider status offers the reader a view on human foibles, and prejudice, that we haven't seen in fiction before.
Where to Order:
Ojo
To run for your life and be naked, literally and figuratively; to be pursued by your past, eyed and tracked by the ones you left behind; to be in a foreign environment, broke and without a job; to be queer and working class; to feel the burden of loss in your bones; and to know that somehow you have to start over, create a new life, connect with others and construct a home for yourself, from scratch, never mind you're c clueless as to how––finding peace in that storm is what Ojo is about. It surveys the many youthful challenges that humans are confronted with, the traditions and laws that are by and large the product of old religion, which continue to hang on and at times destroy lives, senselessly in a modern world. Ojo is a celebration of possibilities, of new ways of creating a world, even as the old ways bear down. It's a story of finding love in the 1980's, in cowboy country, at the start of the HIV pandemic.
Where to Order:
Bare Life
Bare Life takes place in the present, four decades after events in The Lede and Ojo. A would-be-king has become president, attempting to highjack the country and take it back to the bigotry of the past. The novel is narrated by Will, the offspring of Wren and Donald, who has moved from The City to live in Eldorado with their uncles, Jake and Tomás. Like figures in Voltaire's Candide, the protagonists wonder if it's possible to go back to simpler times, ones that allow the characters to flesh out a kinder, more accepting – a more diverse – life, in a small-scale, small-D democracy: bare life. What would it look like, given how dependent we've become on the noise and distraction of modern existence? Would a contemporary version of bare life be something akin to the past, or would it have to be a new animal altogether?
