Award-winning short stories from the author of The Danish Girl and Pasadena

“Passion for us all will remain a troublesome thing.”

The Rose City combines a collection of unforgettable characters with Ebershoff’s trademark emotional insight and intelligent prose in seven stories about young men and boys as they discover and rediscover themselves in a world that never really works out as planned.  Often tragic but lacking in despair, The Rose City delves into the tribulations of youth, identity, sexuality – and longing for something just out of reach.  Written with compassion and truth, these stories present characters who live at the margins of the world at the moment they take their first steps toward acceptance and love.
