Alec

by William di Canzio

“Just when it began to seem that I couldn’t read E. M. Forster’s Maurice one more time, as much as I love it, here’s Alec, William di Canzio’s brilliant reimagining of Forster’s classic. Alec extends Maurice, delivers it to us intact but refreshed and reconsidered. I, for one, am extremely grateful.” —Michael Cunningham, author of The Hours

“Maurice and Alec are one of literature’s iconic couples. It’s been more than a century since E. M. Forster first let these lovers into the world, and what a treat to return to them now, in William di Canzio’s moving homage, where we find our boys still offering valuable lessons, still tender and troubled and courageous enough to love.” —Justin Torres, author of We the Animals
