SALON EXCLUSIVE: Jon Ransom reads from 'The Whale Tattoo'

It's LGBTQ+ History Month in the UK! We’re celebrating with the release of an episode featuring Jon Ransom’s debut novel The Whale Tattoo. It’s a fine work of queer literature that we’re excited to share with you.  When a giant sperm whale washes up on the local beach and tells Joe Gunner that death will follow him wherever he goes, Joe knows that the place he needs to go is back home. But his return throws sea salt in old wounds and dredges up rumours bubbling beneath the placid surface of this small town.  Please note this excellent reading contains explicit content! The Whale Tattoo by Jon Ransom is published by indie publisher Muswell Press. We recommend buying from your local indie or you can get it from our shop at Bookshop.org. Or for a special signed copy, you can order direct from London indie bookshop Gays the Word! 'The Whale Tattoo' is a stunning achievement - one of the most impressive and assured debuts I've ever read' - Matt Cain Podcast produced and edited by Megan Bay Dorman Learn more about your ad choices.
