Blackouts by Justin Torres
In the desert at a place known as the Palace, a young man cares for a dying individual, Juan Gay, who has been a fleeting yet significant presence in his life. Juan, a storyteller and guardian of the forgotten, shares a project with the narrator, inspired by a historical book on queer experiences. As Juan's time dwindles, they exchange stories of joy, loss, and forgotten lives, exploring the past's influence on the present and future. Through these narratives, the book delves into themes of memory, identity, and the stories that shape our world.
