A review by egilmore
The Dove in the Belly by Jim Grimsley

4.0

I understand why Grimsley is canonical queer lit fic. Like many, I found this book quietly, unexpectedly and I read it in solitude. Like many, I don’t know why it doesn’t have more reviews. The writing seems straightforward but there are layers here, between what is said and unsaid. So many complex emotions in such a little story. Audiobook was excellent, and I think the narrator made Ben more sympathetic sounding than he would have just off the page.
