Description

Minor is the desiring body that runs, rises, gravitates towards larger, brighter, more dazzling bodies, that bestows on other bodies the status of suns and planets, fires to be orbited, the reason for everything. There is no center of the universe except the one we invent for ourselves.

Jonathan is twenty years old, gay, and full of life. He's set out to escape the insignificance of his suburban home, to give himself instead and forever to the real city, Milan, where he hopes also to find love.

But when Jonathan finds love in all its messy, complicated, sexy reality, he realizes it's not enough. He has escaped the place and people of his childhood, but can he escape the man raised by those people and in that place, the man he has grown up to be?

The much-anticipated second book by Jonathan Bazzi, the Italian author of the multi-award winning Fever, Minor Bodies is a striking autobiographical novel, a delicious, captivating portrait of love and infatuation: "A self-inflicted lightning bolt, only heavy, joyless -- more like a fist, or a hammer."
