Über diesen Titel
From the acclaimed author of the young adult graphic novel Flamer comes a heartwarming story following four gay Asians navigating love, identity, and friendship—a celebration of queer chosen family.
When AJ moves to Seattle in the early aughts, he’s ready to reinvent himself as a gay Asian man—but his dreams hit reality fast with no friends, no job, and an apartment so far out, “not even lesbians live there.” Then a spilled drink at a bar introduces him to K, a glamorous drag queen; John, a shy gamer; and Steven, a reckless flirt. AJ’s “Boy Luck Club” helps him find love, pride, and belonging—until a brutal attack tests everything they know about friendship and family.
Meticulously observed, Gaysians is a fierce, funny, and tender story of queer resilience and self-discovery.
“I’ve been hunting for books like this my whole life; this story broke my heart and healed it.”—Maia Kobabe, author of Gender Queer

Kritikerstimmen
“Gaysians is a beautiful prism of queer Asian/Asian American experience, grounding and groundbreaking. You’ll feel seen, called out, held, beloved. I laughed, I cried, I healed a little or a lot—but I’ll never forget what this book showed me.”—Alexander Chee, author of How to Write an Autobiographical Novel
“A savory feast of heartbreak and joy that proves the old adage that the more specific something is, the more universal it can be. Life is in the details, and Mike Curato is a master at rendering them with life-affirming beauty.”—Steven Rowley, author of The Guncle
