To See a Narwhal

Meer over het boek

The narrative follows Matthew, a gay man who faced abuse from the Catholic Church, bullying from peers, and neglect from educators in a small Minnesota town during the 1980s. His experiences of self-loathing and unfulfillment in adulthood are intertwined with his coping mechanism of retreating into the lives of three imaginary friends he created in his youth. This poignant exploration reveals the impact of trauma and the search for identity amidst adversity.
