Product Information
One of 2020's most acclaimed books. A Kirkus Best Fiction Book of 2020 - One of O Magazine's Best LGBT Books of 2020 - A Finalist for the Southern Book Prize - One of the Women's National Book Association's 2020 Great Group Reads Selections - EW's 50 Most Anticipated Books of 2020 - BookRiot - Lambda Literary's - Salon - BookPage's - Garden & Gun's - Logo NewNowNext's In this "brutally fresh kind of homecoming novel," (Entertainment Weekly) Brian Jackson returns to his small Appalachian hometown and the family who rejected him. Carter Sickels's stunning literary achievement "deserves a place in the canon of AIDS literature alongside the likes of Larry Kramer and Rebecca Makkai" (Los Angeles Review of Books). The story of Brian's return to small-town Ohio is told in a chorus of voices: Brian's mother Sharon; his fourteen-year-old sister, Jess, as she grapples with her brother's mysterious return; and the video diaries Brian makes to document his final summer. Written in prose that seeks "to answer without flinching away from ugliness and without demonizing the ignorant" (Salon), The Prettiest Star offers an urgent portrait of a family in the center of a national crisis, in order to tell a unique story about the politics and fragility of the body, and to explore the bounds of family and redemption.

Reviews
"From its opening sentences Carter Sickels'' The Prettiest Star makes it clear that too many queer narratives have been kept out of sight. Here a man returns to the town of his southern Ohio childhood at a point when his own day-to-day survival is at stake. Love doesn''t come in to save him, or the family and friends upended by his presence. "Nothing transforms, there is no magic," says one character, and while there''s darkness in those words, their down to earth candor does a lot to suggest why this novel feels so touching, affecting, rebellious, and real."----Paul Lisicky, author of Later "Get ready for your heart to explode into an entire cosmos. Carter Sickels'' The Prettiest Star is the story of a young man who must drag his body from the mouth of death back to the "home" that nearly killed him. The story of a queer desiring body moving through the crucibles of life toward song, toward rewriting family and whatever we mean by home, toward a kind of hope that comes from the dirt up and not the sky down. A heart triumph."--Lidia Yuknavitch, author of The Book Joan "The Prettiest Star is a lyrical and compulsively readable novel about the intricate, tangled bonds of family and the way human beings can be both profoundly cruel and surprisingly wonderful. These characters are people we know, and they''ll stay with me for a very long time. This deeply moving novel is much more than the story of one family dealing with the worst tragedy of their lives in a small Ohio town in 1986. It''s the story of all of us--the story of America, then and now, how far we''ve come, and how far we still have to go."--Silas House, author of Southernmost "With the most inviting prose imaginable, Carter Sickels has written a beautiful, heartstring-tugging story about a young man searching for peace, and the family that loves him. The Prettiest Star is a novel I''ll never forget."--De''Shawn Charles Winslow, author of In West Mills, "From its opening sentences Carter Sickels' The Prettiest Star makes it clear that too many queer narratives have been kept out of sight.

Nearly every character is an underdog, and readers can't help but root for them, even knowing all the while that it is futile....Sickels manages to depict the region and its inhabitants vividly, but without condescension."--The Boston Globe, Advance Praise for The Prettiest Star "As small-town news travels, Brian is vilified, accused of trying to spread AIDS, refused dentist and doctor visits, and shunned, and it tears apart his once close-knit family. The alternating narrators of Brian, Sharon, and Jess are fleshed out in all of their complexities and contradictions. This immersive, tragic book will stay with readers."--Booklist "Amid the tragedy, threads of loyalty, strength, and pride result in a glimmer of hope--not for a happy ending, but for human beings' capacity to love one another through the worst crises. Devastating and impactful, The Prettiest Star captures the profound effects of the AIDS crisis, and the lies and bigotry that contributed to it."--Foreword Reviews "Sickels' characters are painfully flawed and wholly, believably human in their failings.
