Bugsy & Other Stories

Longlisted for the 2024 Story Prize, this engaging collection from the author of Confidence and The Comedown presents five genre-defying stories that explore themes of queerness, neurodivergence, sexuality, and self-discovery. Each tale delves into unique human experiences, featuring a queer young adult navigating bipolar disorder, a psychiatrist grappling with an intrusive voice, an e-girl facing an obsessed fan, a young boy resisting societal norms, and an elderly woman confronting her mortality. With a blend of humor and raw honesty, Frumkin offers a compelling look at our innermost selves as we strive to find our place in the world.
