Green Fairy by Kyell Gold

zetasyanthis's review

5.0

This is probably one of the best books I have ever read, and I don't know if my words can do it half the justice it's worth. Still, I have to try... Kyell himself, normally a writer of gay erotic fiction, describes it as a 'non-erotic gay non-love story,' and although that's technically correct, it doesn't even begin to touch on the mastery in this book. Swapping back and forth from a confessional letter from the days of revolutionary France and a modern day coming of age story, this book manages to mix the two with the help of a little Absinthe and a whole lot of self-reflection. There are only two things I have ever described as a masterpiece up until this point. This is now the third.
