A modern queer tragedy about a pilot's last words, an interrupted celebration, and the fear of losing everything, "After Elias" is a finalist for the 2021 Edmund White Award for Debut Fiction. The novel follows Coen Caraway, who loses the man he loves and the illusion of happiness he has worked so hard to create when the airplane he is piloting crashes one week before their wedding day. The only thing Elias leaves behind is a recording of his final words, which are cryptic and baffling to Coen.
Numb with grief, Coen takes refuge on the Mexican island that was meant to host their wedding. As fragments of the past come to the surface in the aftermath of the tragedy, Coen is forced to question everything he thought he knew about Elias and their life together. Beneath his flawed memory lies the truth about Elias - and himself.
"After Elias" weaves the past with the present to tell a story of doubt, regret, and the fear of losing everything. The novel explores themes of love, loss, identity, and the complexities of human relationships. It is a powerful and moving portrayal of a man struggling to come to terms with his past and find hope for the future.
The author, Timothy Taylor, has praised "After Elias" for its "utterly engrossing" and "heroic" portrayal of Coen. Taylor has also noted the novel's "dignity, humanity, and passion," which make it a "must-read for anyone who loves queer literature."
In conclusion, "After Elias" is a remarkable debut novel that deserves to be recognized with the 2021 Edmund White Award for Debut Fiction. It is a powerful and moving story that explores the depths of human emotion and the fear of losing everything. The novel's "dignity, humanity, and passion" make it a must-read for anyone who loves queer literature.
