The house was a ramshackle split-level set on a hill, and each summer thirty-one people would sleep between its thin walls and shag carpets. Against the moonlight the house's octagonal roof resembled a bee's nest. It was dubbed The Hive.\u003cbr\u003eIn 2013, John Glynn joined the share house. Packing his duffel for that first Memorial Day Weekend, he prayed for clarity. At twenty-seven, he was crippled by an all-encompassing loneliness, a feeling he had carried in his heart for as long as he could remember. John didn't understand the loneliness. He just knew it was there. Like the moon gone dark.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eOut East \u003c\/i\u003eis the portrait of a summer, of The Hive and the people who lived in it, and John's own reckoning with a half-formed sense of self. From Memorial Day to Labor Day, The Hive was a center of gravity, a port of call, a home. Friendships, conflicts, secrets and epiphanies blossomed within this tightly woven friend group and came to define how they would live out the rest of their twenties and beyond. \u003cbr\u003eBlending the sand-strewn milieu of George Howe Colt's \u003ci\u003eThe Big House \u003c\/i\u003ewith the radiant aching of Olivia Liang's \u003ci\u003eThe Lonely City\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eOut East \u003c\/i\u003eis a keenly wrought story of love and transformation, longing and escape in our own contemporary moment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"An unforgettable story told with feeling and humor and above all with the razor-sharp skill of a delicate and highly gifted writer.\" -- André Aciman, \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author of \u003ci\u003eCall Me by Your Name\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"\u003ci\u003eOut East\u003c\/i\u003e is full of intimacy and hope and frustration and joy, an extraordinary tale of emotional awakening and lacerating ambivalence, a confession of self-doubt that becomes self-knowledge.\" -- Andrew Solomon, National Book Award winner\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eAn \u003ci\u003eEntertainment Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e Best Book of May 2019\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eA \u003ci\u003eTime\u003c\/i\u003e magazine Best Book of May 2019\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eCosmopolitan\u003c\/i\u003e Best Book of May 2019\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eAn \u003ci\u003eO, the Oprah Magazine \u003c\/i\u003eBest LGBTQ Book of 2019\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJohn Glynn\u003c\/b\u003e is an editor at Hanover Square Press, an imprint of HarperCollins.
