Anyone's Ghost by August Thompson
A gorgeous modern love-story about two young men who meet, almost fall in-love, and find their lives caught up in three car crashes - for fans of Call Me By Your Name, A Little Life and One Day.
Anyone's Ghost is about so very many things: the pains of growing up, friendship and pining, drugs, sex, the frustrations of masculinity and the thrill of testing death itselfBut more than any of that, it is an overwhelmingly beautiful love story. This book will make you cry -- Jonathan Safran Foer, author of Everything Is Illuminated
This book is a monster: the magnificent writing, the gallery of characters, the fascinating glimpse into the right now make it stand about twenty feet tall among new books I've read -- Darin Strauss, author of Half a Life
You know those books that you take with you everywhere? That you won’t stop talking about to your friends? That bring it all back? That change you? Anyone’s Ghost is that book. Thompson has fired a literary flare into the black night of the universe and the illumination is spectacular. -- Junot Díaz, author of The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao
Anyone’s Ghost is a ferocious novel of erotic friendship, uncategorizable love, and vexed masculinity, voiced by a narrator as winning and largehearted as any character I’ve recently met. With its psychedelic prose and fierce moral intelligence, this is one of those books that makes you want to keep living. To read it is to fall more deeply in love with the world. -- Maggie Millner, author of Couplets: A Love Story

August Thompson was born and raised in the middle of nowhere, New Hampshire. He studied in New
York and Berlin, wasted all of his good hearing at metal shows, taught English in Spain for two years,
and spent another two on couches across three continents. He returned to New York as a Goldwater
Fellow at NYU’s Creative Writing Program. At the age of twenty-six, he came out as bisexual. Anyone's
Ghost is his first novel.
