Jonathan Hopkirk and Adam 'Kurl' Kurlansky are partnered in English
class, writing letters to one another in a weekly pen pal
assignment. With each letter, the two begin to develop a friendship
that grows into love. But with homophobia, bullying, and familial
abuse, Jonathan and Kurl must struggle to overcome their conflicts
and hold onto their relationship, and each other.We Contain
Multitudes is the sort of novel that has readers falling in love
with their characters, becoming so invested in their stories and
conflicts that it's impossible to put the book down. The literary
languages and references throughout (particularly to Walt Whitman)
bring to mind award-winning novels such as I'll Give You the Sun,
Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe, and
more.With a growing appreciation for LGBTQ+ characters and stories,
and such a compelling novel with engaging characters and stunning
language, We Contain Multitudes has the potential to be a
commercial and literary success.
