About the Book

D is shaken when his mercurial friend Lamb vanishes just before they're set to move in together. The news of his death three years later shadows him like a ghost. Sifting through Lamb's journals decades later, D uncovers a raw, intimate portrait of a sensitive misfit navigating a world that never understood him. From their first meeting at an elite all-boys school to the chaos of 1990s San Francisco, Lamb's story unfolds in a tangle of tenderness and rebellion, anguish and adventure. Through journal entries, letters, poetry, and stories, Lamb is a coming-of-age in snapshots that captures the dazed spirit of young men searching for belonging in the aftermath of the AIDS crisis. A Tales of the City for Generation X-a dark afterparty of gay awakening both aching and unforgettable.

Review :
"In this era-defining novel, Ford explores more than the mystery of Lamb. It is a love letter to a friend, a community, a youthfulness gone, a sweet song to relationship in all its joy and heartbreak." -Eleanor Anstruther, author of In Judgement of Others "Troy Ford's poignant and heartfelt Lamb takes us on a memorable journey of friendship in scenes ranging from exquisite slow-building drama to edge-of-your-seat tension. The novel is cleverly stitched from many pieces: flashback, poetry, letters, and embedded fictions. Despite the emotional rollercoaster, and the puzzle of these interlocking texts, there is a core through line that is purely human, grounded in love and self-discovery in a raw and vulnerable way. Lamb struck me as only rare books do: I found myself haunted equally by its joyous celebrations of identity, and the elusive nature of loss we all carry with us." -Kathleen Clare Waller, author of An Interpreter in Vienna
