Miles

Adam Henry Carriere’s debut novel takes you on an unforgettable journey through the limbo of emerging sexuality between teenagers to chronicle a way of life barely imagined by those outside its boundaries. Beset by the collapse of his blood family, Miles feverishly struggles to find and make meaning of his eruptive gay yearnings. Accompanying Miles on his journey, you will be well repaid in pure entertainment. However, Carriere also writes in symbols. His players are natural forces, natural people (by harmony and contrast) and he is always questioning. He makes you connect emotionally. He makes you laugh, in humor and relief. He makes you hope for certain outcomes and pleases you, when the road not taken turns out to be the one you've been on all along. He is, in short, continually asking you what friendship - and love - not only are but can become. And without apology or cliche MILES is his pleasing yet dynamic, literary yet romantic, bittersweet yet hilarious answer. If you think that only one thing can happen between gay teenagers, surprise - and delight - awaits you.
