Featured in Electric Lit's "15 Small Press Books You Should Be Reading This Winter"

Winner of the 2023 Autumn House Fiction Prize, Near Strangers is a collection of eight tightly crafted short stories that follow unexpected connections and tell of queer life in America.

Award-winning author Marian Crotty's sophomore collection centers on resilient female protagonists and offers a view into queer life and love outside of its major coastal cities. The characters in Crotty’s collection are searching—for understanding, acceptance, or forgiveness.

In the title story, an elderly rape crisis volunteer’s advocacy for a survivor leads her to reexamine her role in estrangement from her son; in “Halloween,” a queer teen is counseled through heartbreak by her unlucky-in-love grandmother; and in “Family Resemblance,” a group of families whose children share the same sperm donor is disrupted by the arrival of a minor celebrity.

While marginalization, loneliness, and bigotry hover in the distance of Near Strangers, the book’s tone is hopeful and invites readers to reflect on our shared human experience with empathy.
