Fantasies of Future Things

In this debut audiobook, set against the backdrop of Atlanta's gentrification during the lead-up to the 1996 Olympics, two men grapple with their identities and ambitions while working for a real estate company displacing Black residents. Jacob, a recent graduate, struggles with the expectations of his family regarding his sexuality, while Daniel, dealing with his mother's death and his search for his estranged father, confronts the challenges of love and acceptance. Their complex relationship, intensified by the arrival of Sherman, a passionate social worker, forces each man to weigh the risks of pursuing authenticity against the security of societal norms. As they navigate their intertwined lives, questions of personal fulfillment and familial connections come to the forefront.
