THE SHORT WHILE by Jeremy Sorese (Archaia, Nov 2021)

After a party, two men accidentally swap their jackets and are thrust into a most opportune meeting.

In each other they find what they’ve been missing. Love. Companionship. Trust. Honesty. Vulnerability. And they find everything they feared. Tragedy. Loss. Loss of self. Loss of freedom. Loss of each other.

Acclaimed cartoonist Jeremy Sorese presents a tragic but redemptive love story about two men who meet, quickly fall in love, and then find themselves falling apart when an unexpected event changes both their lives forever.

Select praise for THE SHORT WHILE:

“THE SHORT WHILE is a thrilling triumph that poignantly conveys how queer people experience trauma and how new events can cause eruptions that heal old wounds. It is a spiritually transformative sci-fi thriller that proves Sorese's artistry is boundless.” — Sasha Velour
Publishers Weekly review: “…A bravely messy story about dealing with trauma, on a personal and a societal level, and searching for happiness in an imperfect world.”
