A brilliant collection that offers unique perspectives on love, identity, and acceptance.
Crim’s debut is a deep exploration of biblical narratives through a queer lens, challenging traditional interpretations with thought-provoking insights and reimaginings. His approach to resetting familiar stories against the backdrop of the 1990s breathes new life into age-old tales, inviting readers to consider the presence of queer love, inclusion, and diversity within the biblical text. “Perry and Siouxsie at the Prom” reimagines the biblical story of Joseph in the 1990s, delving into themes of gender fluidity and bisexuality. “That’s Me in the Corner” offers a fresh take on the biblical narrative of David and Jonathan, exploring themes of self-discovery and acceptance for LGBTQ individuals. Meanwhile, “Take A Jagged Little Pill and Call Me in The Morning” centers on healing within the community, providing insights into resilience and self-care among LGBTQ individuals. Crim challenges heteronormative standards by embracing ambiguity and homoerotic undertones, promoting acceptance and understanding of complex human relationships and identities. This timely exploration of faith, love, and identity offers a thought-provoking perspective on traditional religious texts.
