LOVE/AGGRESSION publication day!
Hi everyone,
After quite a lot of waiting, my lightly-surreal novel of queer community conflict, surreal architecture, and two roommates deciding they fucking hate each other is out today!
Obviously I think the book is very good, but I’m honored to share with you some praise it has received from the following incredible writers:
"A firecracker. June Martin bursts onto the scene with this surreal comic novel, a book with heart, soul, and viscera. She anatomizes a scene the way a Victorian doctor dissects a corpse, and just as thrillingly for the bystander; the organs are bold and strange. LOVE/AGGRESSION's picaresque opening gives you all the clues to its tightly machined finale, but you won't solve them. A debut to be reckoned with, by a writer you owe it to yourself to read." - Isaac Fellman, author of Dead Collections
"Funny, vicious, poignant, and breathlessly intelligent, Love/Aggression is a dirty delight and a staggeringly accomplished debut." - Gretchen Felker-Martin, author of Manhunt and Cuckoo
"I devoured every page of this sharp-hearted, gently magical-realist parable about curdled friendships, queer house drama, and the terrible price one pays to be young, femme, and ascending. With this debut, June Martin opens good new roads for trans storytelling: she shows us fear in a handful of goddess dust." - Jeanne Thornton, author of Summer Fun
It’s really the best thing I’ve written to date, and I hope you’re interested in it. It’s available on Amazon and Bookshop, but you could also ask your local bookstore about it or even request it from your library!
To those of you who have supported the book so far, thank you so much. It’s a great honor to get to share this novel with you all.
-June
