Yr Dead

By: Sam Sax

Narrated by: Sam Sax

“It's not just that I trust Sam Sax's imagination. My sincere belief is that Sam's creative freedom unlocks the potential for our liberation.” (Saeed Jones, author of How We Fight for Our Lives)

In between the space of time when Ezra lights themself on fire and when Ezra dies, the world of this book flashes before their eyes. Everyone Ezra’s ever loved, every place they’ve felt queer and at home, or queer and out of place, reveals itself in an instant. Unfolding in fragments of memory, Ezra dissolves into the family, religion, desire, losses, pains, and joys that made them into the person that’s decided on this final act of protest.

Told in lyric fragments that span both lifetimes and geography, Yr Dead is a queer, Jewish, diasporic coming-of-age story that questions how our historical memory shapes our political and emotional present. Visceral, propulsive, and at turns fluorescently beautiful and fluorescently tragic, Yr Dead is the electric debut novel from award-winning writer Sam Sax, one of our most dynamic and imaginative writers.

Efficiently Insightful

A creative, compact, thoughtful and provocative listen.
Take it slow, in small-ish bites, and let it wash over you.

So uniquely beautiful

Amazing writing. Unique, beautiful, different. Loved it. I highly recommend. Well worth a credit for me.

Great Book, Great AUDIObook

Tremendous production. I was recommended this book by Anthony Jeselnik, yes the roast comedian. Great story and wonderful adds with the sound design of the audiobook.
