The Disappearers w/ Marlon James

The Disappearers is a book of the decade, and we’re so glad to share our conversation with its author, Marlon James. Set in 1980’s Jamaica, this epistolary gay revenge thriller (yes, it’s all of those things), chronicles the lives of eight gay men following an attack. What does it mean for our culture to disappear us? How can people disappear, but not leave? This is a career-defining work, and you don’t want to miss this unruly and heartfelt conversation. Stay for our new version of the game, “Going/Not Going” at the end. • Marlon’s Socials: Instagram | Website • Buy The Disappearers • The Sexual Outlaw by John Rechy Join our Patreon for bonus content (starting at $5 a month) — About the show: A culture podcast by two insufferable queer introverts in the South who really need to know who’s gonna be there before they commit to anything.
