One year from today, my book, “Yes, I’m Still Here” comes out. Until then, I’m writing about some of the objects that survived the years inside it, starting with a dog tag I’ve carried through four countries and endless apartments, and a perfume I had to buy twice. Queer people are very good at making ordinary objects impossible to be neutral about. A shirt becomes a person. A perfume becomes a relationship. A song is suddenly banned from the aux for three years. What’s something you kept long after it stopped being just a thing?

Get it, read it, love it!

10/10 — a queer book like no other. The writing style carries you through the pages until you realise you’ve finished it in one sitting. An exceptional story, lyrical prose that teeters on the edge of poetry. A masterpiece and a joy to read. Fully recommend. What are your ten-out-of-ten titles?
