A Place I've Never Been

David Leavitt's second collection, A Place I've Never Been, showcases his deep empathy and creative storytelling through a series of engaging stories that explore family, friendship, and romantic relationships marked by fluid and uncertain sexuality. From a real estate agent struggling with unexpected love to a man navigating gay hookups alongside a charismatic friend, Leavitt contrasts American suburban life with European notions of loyalty and fidelity. Clever and insightful, this collection offers both pleasure and revelations about human connection.
