Joe Baumann, Where Can I Take You When There’s Nowhere To Go

Thirteen surreal short stories utilize the strange and the bizarre as a backdrop for explorations of loneliness, queer coming-of-age, self-discovery, and loss. Baumann’s tender vignettes of love, anger, grief, and desire are a stunning ode to the places and people that can give us solace within an absurd and chaotic world.

Joe Baumann is the author of three collections of short fiction: Sing With Me at the Edge of Paradise, The Plagues, and Hot Lips. A 2019 Lambda Literary Fellow in Fiction, his essays and works of fiction have appeared in Third Coast, Passages North, Phantom Drift, and elsewhere.  His debut novel, I Know You’re Out There Somewhere, is forthcoming from Deep Hearts YA.  He can be reached at joebaumann.wordpress.com.
