Description

From the star of Peacock’s Queer as Folk and the Netflix series Special comes a “funny, tender, and beautiful” (Gary Janetti, New York Times bestselling author) novel following a gay TV writer with cerebral palsy as he fights addiction and searches for acceptance in an overwhelmingly ableist world.

Elliott appears to be living the dream as a successful TV writer with a doting boyfriend. But behind his Instagram filter of a life, he’s grappling with an intensifying alcohol addiction, he can’t seem to stop cheating on his boyfriend with various sex workers, and his cerebral palsy is making him feel like gay Shrek.

After falling down a rabbit hole of sex, drinking, and Hollywood backstabbing, Elliott decides to limp his way towards redemption. But facing your demons is easier said than done.

“With his singular voice and unforgettable wit” (Steven Rowley, author of The Guncle), Ryan O’Connell presents a candid, biting, and refreshingly real commentary on gay life, laugh-out-loud exploration of self, and a rare insight into life as a person with disabilities.

Authentische Geschichte mit außergewöhnlicher Perspektive

Mir hat Just by Looking at Him gut gefallen, allem voran, weil die Geschichte aus Sicht des Protagonisten mit Cerebral Palsy geschrieben ist. Diese Perspektive habe ich so noch nicht gelesen und es hat mir einige neue Blickwinkel erschlossen. Auch was Gay Life angeht, ist der Roman erfrischend offen und ehrlich, wobei es neben jeder Menge Sex auch um interessante Introspektion geht.
