Outsider Classics 🖋️ is our resurrection ground for stories fallen by the wayside of history. Books from voices that were marginalised, suppressed, or simply too far ahead of their time to garner the recognition they deserved.
There's BABY DRIVER, by Jan Kerouac - yes, daughter of that famous Kerouac - a reinvigoration of the beat-generation novel, detailing her young life spent freewheeling across borders, writing poetry, turning tricks.
And then THE LEATHER BOYS, by Gillian Freeman, a love story from 1961 between two working class lads whose lives become entangled over motorcycles, crime and gang violence.
The newest addition: A VISITATION OF SPIRITS, by Randall Kenan, a peerless voice of magical realism, exemplified in this harrowingly beautiful story about faith and queerness. Horace Cross, a gay, Black teenager, attempts to turn himself into a bird, but in the process, accidentally summons, and is possessed by, a demon.
