How wonderful to see a post about Prime-Stevenson and Imre in the wild! It's such a fantastic book. I read it in grad school and it completely changed the way I thought about queer literature. I actually offer a personalized edition (aka with an introduction by me) to new subscribers. Your post here is fantastic. Thank you for spreading the word about the book!

Oh, I'm so glad you found the post! It has completely changed the way I think about queer lit, too. I cannot wait to read it again, it feels like a book I am just getting started with.

Structure and plans and a path you've laid out for yourself works so well... until it doesn't. I'm proud of you for experimenting (because I know it's hard, and there is self-doubt, among other things) and I can't wait to see what unfolds 🩷

Thanks, Sarah! Witnessing you change and try things and be so honest and vulnerable in your newsletter is definitely an inspiration. <3 (Still haven't figured out computer emojis!)

Thanks so much for opening my eyes to this book! Wonderful writeup and reflections. The fact that Imre was published at all blows away my preconceptions.

Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed reading—it's really quite an amazing book that deserves more readers! (And blowing away preconceptions about queer lit is my favorite thing—I have been doing this to myself all year.)
