The Absolute Value of -1 by Steve Brezenoff

Noah, Lily, and Simon have been a trio forever. But as they enter high school, their relationships shift and their world starts to fall apart. Privately, each is dealing with a family crisis—divorce, abuse, and a parent’s illness. Yet as they try to escape the pain and reach out for the connections they once counted on, they slip—like soap in a shower. Noah’s got it bad for Lily, but he knows too well Lily sees only Simon. Simon is indifferent, suddenly inscrutable to his friends. All stand alone in their heartache and grief. In his luminous YA novel, Steve Brezenoff explores the changing value of relationships as the characters realize that the distances between them are far greater than they knew.

AOT #219: William Haywood Henderson Podcasts Native

William Haywood Henderson teaches writing at the nonprofit Lighthouse Writers Workshop in Denver, Colorado, and is the author of The Rest of the Earth and Augusta Locke. As part of the Lighthouse Writers “Writer’s Buzz” series, Chris Ransick interviews Henderson about his novel Native, the tale of three gay men ensnared in the politics and prejudices of an isolated ranching town in Wyoming’s Wind River Valley. “Henderson’s moody, near mystical evocation of the Western heart owes more to the spirit of The Scarlet Letter than to Louis L’Amour. Native is a cowboy story unlike any other.” –Boston Globe
