The house was a ramshackle split-level set on a hill, and each summer thirty-one people would sleep between its thin walls and shag carpets. Against the moonlight the house's octagonal roof resembled a bee's nest. It was dubbed The Hive.\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003eIn 2013, John Glynn joined the share house. Packing his duffel for that first Memorial Day Weekend, he prayed for clarity.

From Memorial Day to Labor Day, The Hive was a center of gravity, a port of call, a home. Friendships, conflicts, secrets and epiphanies blossomed within this tightly woven friend group and came to define how they would live out the rest of their twenties and beyond.\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003eBlending the sand-strewn milieu of George Howe Colt's \u003ci\u003eThe Big House\u003c\/i\u003e with the radiant aching of Olivia Liang's \u003ci\u003eThe Lonely City\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eOut East\u003c\/i\u003e is a keenly wrought story of love and transformation, longing and escape in our own contemporary moment.\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"An unforgettable story told with feeling and humor and above all with the razor-sharp skill of a delicate and highly gifted writer.\" -- André Aciman, \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author of \u003ci\u003eCall Me by Your Name\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"\u003ci\u003eOut East\u003c\/i\u003e is full of intimacy and hope and frustration and joy, an extraordinary tale of emotional awakening and lacerating ambivalence, a confession of self-doubt that becomes self-knowledge.\" -- Andrew Solomon, National Book Award winner\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\u003cb\u003eAn \u003ci\u003eEntertainment Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e Best Book of May 2019\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\u003cb\u003eA \u003ci\u003eTime\u003c\/i\u003e magazine Best Book of May 2019\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eCosmopolitan\u003c\/i\u003e Best Book of May 2019\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\u003cb\u003eAn \u003ci\u003eO, the Oprah Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e Best LGBTQ Book of 2019\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49535745622289,"sku":"GOR010221106","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49757181018385,"sku":"CIN1538746654G","price":4.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50302236918033,"sku":"CIN1538746654VG","price":4.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51597645283601,"sku":"GOR010965714","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1538746654.jpg?v=1750894899","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/out-east-book-john-glynn-9781538746653","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
