Welcome to Pride Picks, where we’ll be recommending a piece of art every weekday through June. To kick off, here’s a forgotten, out-of-print novel of gay life that’s equally grim and hilarious.

Hi y’all. My name is Penn, and this is my new column Queerly Nerdy. This freelance column was years in the making, because my Black-Asian genderqueer nerdy ass has been writing online about LGBTQ+ comic books, anime and manga, video games, and more for a good ass decade now. I’ve done this for about 4 years here at INTO as a freelancer.
