Nate Lippens constructs a spectral and poetic tale that captivates the reader with its dreamlike atmosphere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe story follows a narrator who, immersed in insomnia, is visited by the specters of his dead friends. Together, they reminisce about a past marked by AIDS, the hopelessness of sex work, and the harshness of an era that took so many away. The narrative unfolds with the diffuse quality of a poorly remembered dream, where names fade as if turning a page.
