"...a love letter to a friend, a community, a youthfulness gone, a sweet song to relationship in all its joy and heartbreak."—Eleanor Anstruther, author of In Judgement of Others "Lamb struck me as only rare books I found myself haunted equally by its joyous celebrations of identity, and the elusive nature of loss we all carry with us."—Kathleen Clare Waller, author of An Interpreter in Vienna "This is a book that beats with a heart for the growth and joy that comes with loving someone imperfect or strange, someone not everyone can appreciate but who is uniquely worthy nonetheless." —Abra McAndrew, "The Booktender" and Executive Director, Tucson Festival of Books D is shaken when his mercurial friend Lamb vanishes just before they're set to move in together. The news of his death three years later shadows him like a ghost. Sifting through Lamb's journals decades later, D uncovers a raw, intimate portrait of a sensitive misfit navigating a world that never understood him. From their first meeting at an elite all-boys school to the chaos of 1990s San Francisco, Lamb's story unfolds in a tangle of tenderness and rebellion, anguish and adventure. Through journal entries, letters, poetry, and stories, Lamb is a coming-of-age in snapshots that captures the dazed spirit of young men searching for belonging in the aftermath of the AIDS crisis. A Tales of the City for Generation X—a dark afterparty of gay awakening both aching and unforgettable.
