I had no expectations for Open Throat, no ideas for how the book might proceed. I was utterly delighted by what I found. I loved the human experience through our protagonist's eyes. I loved the words spelt as they sounded, I loved working what they were.
This was a book I chose to read at the queer bookclub I host through a bookshop, this time I had a few friends and my partner come along as they had read and loved the book. It was so lovely to see the group through their eyes, to get to hear newly how lovely the environment is, to have people confirm what a special place it is. The discussions for the book were overwhelmingly positive, everyone had enjoyed experiencing life through a mountain lions eyes and enjoyed the ways the author played with words to create distance between him and us.
