Is Emily Danforth a storytelling genius? She might be. Watch her whip and play with the novel format as she slips in and out of two timelines, whispers to the reader in footnotes, and remind us how fiction and reality are more entwined than we think. A gothic gay ghost of a time—it’s much weirder than I imagined, and more fun as a result.
