In this powerful #OwnVoices narrative, Tannery Bay is a captivating tale of Black Joy and Queer Joy and the ways in which family is both biological and chosen, where love transcends boundaries, and where art is a vehicle for change.

Recenzii
“Tannery Bay is an unforgettable novel populated with characters who haunt like ghosts in a graveyard. Through dreams, images, and language that explode from the pages like a supernova, this unique and moving novel explores profound questions of inequality, the price of our dignity under capitalism, and the pulsating vibrancies of life.”
—Kali Fajardo-Anstine, author of Woman of Light
“Steven Dunn and Katie Jean Shinkle have created an exceptional exploration of how place shapes a person, which seamlessly hums beneath a world of taunting, endless Julys. Tannery Bay's fresh prose feels at once immediate and timeless while it unravels the enigmatic town's secrets."
—Elle Nash, author of Deliver Me and Gag Reflex
"Tannery Bay is as funny as it is haunting, with characters so rich and easy to love, you’ll miss them once you’ve finished reading and want to return to their world. From the dings in the casino to the purple skies and leather‐smelling air, we are immediately immersed in a world where love and family are made and held onto to survive and to claim, or reclaim, power over one’s own circumstances. Co‐authored by Steven Dunn and Katie Jean Shinkle, this novel is a premier model of the power of collective voice and storytelling, from the imagistic prose inviting us into the setting to the compelling narrative development throughout the novel. Tannery Bay is a book you’ll want to return to again and again." —Suzi Q Smith, author of Poems For the End of the World
