Author Jeffrey L. Richards will discuss his new historical fiction novel, We Are Only Ghosts. An exhilarating, brutally candid saga about sexuality and war, tenderness and trauma, young desire and fierce hate, as a teenage boy’s unexpected, complicated relationship with a Nazi officer in a WWII death camp is resurrected in 1960s New York City. We Are Only Ghosts depicts queer love against the horrors of death camps and the psychosis of those who got out alive -- haunted forever by those who did not -- balancing the violence and hatred of war and its aftermath with many poignant moments of tenderness and joy. The book is told from the important and often overlooked perspective of a young gay man imprisoned in the Nazi concentration camps. Richards is an author ("The Summer of Jenny Wade" published in 2015) and playwright ("Stillwater" presented in 2016).
