Overview

A timely, nuanced collection with a strong point of view from an award-winning, queer/transgender author

By turns tender and punk-tough, Shine of the Ever is a literary mixtape of queer voices out of 1990s Portland. This collection of short stories explores what binds a community of queer and trans people as they negotiate love, screwing up and learning to forgive themselves for being young and sometimes foolish.

Reviews

“[W]e are a mass of bliss and fury and love and pain and truth and sound,” Foster writes in the first story of this polyphonic mixtape of short fiction set in and around Portland. With prose that's at once wrenching and punk-poetic, Foster renders Stumptown as a flawed utopia, populated by people who inhabit that liminal space between longing and belonging. —Michelle Hart, O Magazine
