Summary
Summary
Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award
Gala, a young trans woman, works at a hostel in Truth or Consequences, New Mexico. She is obsessed with the Get Happies, the quintessential 1960s Californian band, helmed by its resident genius, B—-. Why did the band stop making music? Why did they never release their rumored album, Summer Fun?
Gala writes letters to B—- that shed light not only on the Get Happies, but paint an extraordinary portrait of Gala. The parallel narratives of B—- and Gala form a dialogue bout creation—of music, identity, self, culture, and counterculture.
Summer Fun is a brilliant and magical work of trans literature that marks Thornton as one of our most exciting and original novelists.
Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“Intensity mounts as Gala’s and B—’s experiences of gender and displacement overlap, and author Jeanne Thornton's narration keeps pace… A haunting and memorable audiobook. Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.” —AudioFile
“An original yet nostalgic tale of music, identity and creation that is not to be missed.”, —Ms. Magazine
“A kooky, delightful read about transformative creation in music, identity, self and culture.” —Seattle Times
“Deliciously weird, it’s a sprawling yet intimate story about music, hidden trans histories and the transformative act of creation.” —BookPage (starred review)
