Summary

For Thanksgiving, Matt wants to take Vic home to meet his parents. While Vic isn't exactly looking forward to it, Matt's more nervous than he is. He's never brought anyone home before. Though his parents know he's gay, he isn't too sure how they'll react when they finally meet the man of his dreams -- the heavily muscled, pierced and tattooed Vic Braunson.


Vic thinks it's just Matt's parents he'll meet. But when they arrive home, they find Matt's cousin Anna there with her three young children, all of whom take an instant liking to Vic. Then there's Mr. and Mrs. diLorenzo, who aren't quite sure what to make of their son's lover. And Matt's Nonna, his maternal grandmother, who tends to lapse into her native tongue without realizing it.


Imagine everyone's surprise when Vic answers her in flawless Italian.

    Sequel to Snow Angel
    Last year, Dean Chapman fell in love ... with another man. He's fallen for childhood friend Jay Reid, and as Jay is a kind, loving soul, Dean knows he holds an angel's heart in the palm of his hand. 
    Since they've moved in together, most of their friends and family have been supportive. But the one person who knows just how to wind him up, drop him down, and step all over him is the one woman who should be on their side -- Jay's sister, April. Instead, she's waiting for Dean to fail big time. He's determined to prove her wrong, but only time can do that, and he isn't the most patient of men. 
    Worse, sometimes Dean fears that, despite his resolve, he'll lose the only person who has ever made his heart race. Jay should have someone who can love him completely, and give him everything he needs both emotionally and physically. If Dean wants to keep Jay, he has to give himself up to a gay relationship completely, which includes his heart and some rather intimate parts of his body. 
    Jay has total faith in his lover and patience ... plenty of patience. Dean needs time and Jay knows April isn't helping, and she's about to piss him off one last time. It's their parents' ruby wedding anniversary and they're about to spend the night in a lovely country hotel. Both men are in for a few surprises, not least of which is the four-poster bed Jay's parents have arranged for them. First there's the church blessing to get through, people to meet, the peace to keep, dinner to eat, and an unexpected declaration of love, and that's without throwing the strawberry lube Jay adores into the mix.
    There's a reason Dean calls his lover Angel, but Jay's thoughts are far from angelic. Can he stop his sister from interfering with his love life? And remember to ask if Dean packed the strawberry lube for the weekend?

    With unapologetic vividness, Lejla Kalamujić depicts pre- and post-war Sarajevo by charting a daughter coping with losing her mother, but discovering herself. From imagined conversations with Franz Kafka to cozy apartments, psychiatric wards, and cemeteries, Call Me Esteban is a piercing meditation on a woman grasping at memories in the name of claiming her identity. 
    “Stylish and brisk, these stories refuse to wallow in tragedy, becoming instead a convincing testament to the consolations of art.” —Publishers Weekly starred review 
    "There’s an immediacy to Lejla Kalamujić’s writing in Call Me Esteban, a haunting portrayal of what it means to live in a society that’s been fragmenting for the vast majority of one’s life. The staccato prose and rapid-fire sentences on display help to further those ideas, as well as giving a sense of the narrator’s anxiety—an experience that takes this book even further into a haunting space." — Tobias Carroll, Words Without Borders 
    "Playful yet piercing, these linked stories weave queer identity with the bitter aftertaste of the Balkan wars... Kalamujić takes autofiction to the next level." —Hamilton Cain, Oprah Daily 
    Lejla Kalamujic is an award-winning queer writer from Bosnia and Herzegovina. 
    Jennifer Zoble translates Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian and Spanish language literature. She is a Clinical Associate Professor at the Interdisciplinary Liberal Studies program at NYU.

    'Thoughtful, beautiful, incredibly necessary. People need to read this book, especially if they feel a resistance to. I wish everyone would.' Sofie Hagen 
    ‘Uncompromising, anguished, combative: culture wars have victims, and this is an agonising story told with honesty and passion.’ Richard Beard 
    'An intimate, beautifully told memoir' Elinor Cleghorn 
    When my third child was born, I was told I had a boy. The baby was given a boy’s name and raised in that gender. But when she died, twenty years later, she died as my daughter, and will forever be remembered that way. 
    Alice Litman died by suicide in May 2022, aged just twenty years old, having already waited almost three years for her first appointment at a gender identity clinic. 
    In stunningly beautiful prose, Caroline Litman captures the realities of an often-messy journey navigating both her daughter’s transition and the days, weeks and months after Alice’s death. 
    Searing, urgent and utterly unique, Her Name is Alice is the raw, human story of a mother’s love and grief for her child – and of a young trans woman who is impossible to forget and who must be remembered. 
    In these memoirs of non-fiction, Litman turns autobiography into biography, charting family relationships with unflinching honesty through bereavement and death. The social stakes of lgbtq+ care and waiting are laid bare in a way that activists and studies will recognise, even as the book remains fiercely personal. 
    For fans of David Challen (The Unthinkable), Ann Cusack (Under Their Roof), and Maggie Hartley (Please Help My Mummy).
