Samantha Allen’s Real Queer America: LGBT Stories from the Red States was a bestseller last year, and is a book Mark loves. “No one understands queerness from an armchair,’ she writes of The Pink Line, “and few have captured that truth better than Mark Gevisser.

It would be impossible not to be transformed by the reading of it.”
