Startlingly erotic and immensely powerful, Garth Greenwell's What
Belongs to You tells an unforgettable story about the ways our
pasts and cultures, our scars and shames can shape who we are and
determine how we love. Winner of the Debut of the Year Award at the
British Book Awards. Shortlisted for the James Tait Black Prize. 'A
searching and compassionate meditation on the slipperiness of
desire . . . as beautiful and vivid as poetry' - Hanya Yanagihara,
author of A Little Life On an unseasonably warm autumn day, an
American teacher enters a public bathroom beneath Sofia's National
Palace of Culture. There he meets Mitko, a charismatic young
hustler, and pays him for sex. He returns to Mitko again and again
over the next few months, their relationship growing increasingly
intimate and unnerving. As he struggles to reconcile his longing
with the anguish it creates, he's forced to grapple with his own
fraught history: his formative experiences of love, his painful
rejection by family and friends, and the difficulty of growing up
as a gay man in southern America in the 1990s. 'Worthy of its
comparisons to James Baldwin and Alan Hollinghurst as well as
Virginia Woolf and W G Sebald . . . spellbinding' - Evening
Standard Longlisted for the National Book Award in Fiction. A
Finalist for the PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction. A Finalist for the
Los Angeles Times Book Prize for Fiction.
