Neil Bartlett's cycle of stories takes us to seven very different times and situations: from a new millennium civil partnership celebration to erotic obsession in a Victorian tenement, from a council-flat bedroom at the height of the AIDS crisis to a doctor's living-room in the midst of the Coronavirus pandemic, they lead us through decades of change to discover hope in the strangest of places.'Bartlett is a pioneer on and off the page and we are lucky to have him telling our stories'DAMIAN BARR'One of England's finest writers'EDMUND WHITE
