The very few books I was able to read in 2016. Maybe the first two don’t really count: the first is the Polish text for my translation, which is the second. Only one book from local Deep Vellum Publishing. But two from Spurl Editions! And then two others (a novel and a memoir) by terribly famous gay boys who made it quite clear to me that I was not as important a writer or on the same level of fabulous gay writers as they. Ho hum.
