"This lyrical and meditative novel from Tannahill . It's a perfectly rendered story of friendship, love, and the porous border between the living and the dead." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "At once an unflinchingly beautiful novel about queer desire, summer days, and casual sex, that is also an elegy to friendship, grief, and lovers lost. Startlingly brave and brilliantly told, I devoured each page not sure what to expect next. The Living Realm belongs in the firmament of great gay fiction." --Douglas Stuart, Booker Prize-winning author of John of John "It's rare to read a novel that expresses so powerfully the wonder of existing in time alongside others: the possibilities this offers for loving and being loved, the obligations love imposes. The final pages of this beautiful, hugely ambitious book amazed me. The Living Realm is a novel that rises to its subject: the whole of life.

" --Garth Greenwell, author of Small Rain "A ghost story, a meditation on aging and the passage of time, a celebration of queer Berlin--Jordan Tannahill captures so much in a slim, hypnotic novel. Playful yet melancholic, The Living Realm tests the boundaries between the real and the unreal, and asks what it means to build a life and a community in the margins." --Tash Aw, author of The South "I completely inhaled and adored this gorgeous meditation on life, death, and the cruising that happens in between, and sometimes after. Sleek, dreamy, mysterious, yet totally grounded and profoundly sexy. An expertly crafted ghost story overflowing with life." --Samantha Josephs, author of Carrying ain "A ghost story, a meditation on aging and the passage of time, a celebration of queer Berlin--Jordan Tannahill captures so much in a slim, hypnotic novel.
