Featured eBook:
Darius the Great Deserves Better
by Adib Khorram (New York: Dial Books. 2020)
A second chapter for the endearingly sweet, Star Trek-–loving “Fractional Persian” Darius Kellner. Blending broad themes like consent and toxic masculinity with the specificity of Darius’ intersectional identity (gay, white and Iranian), this coming-of-age masterpiece packs a multitude of truth and heart. (Kirkus Reviews, August 25, 2020)
