Gilbert, I hear you trying to pivot from crime.
You tried to guide the ship somewhere else, but I'm turning back.
We're back at crime.
I have a book that's so good and happens to be about crime, and that is Fixter Child by Han Ang.
This is a reissue of a book that came out in 2001, and it's being reissued by this new imprint, Outsider Editions, which is through Doubleday.
It's part of their launch slate of releases.
They're releasing a bunch of...
Older books that fall out of print that they think deserves more attention.
For Fixer Child, do you know the phrase, be gay, do crimes?
Never heard of it, but it was a big Twitter meme for a while.
Just be gay, do crimes.
That's what this is.
This follows a gay sex worker who gets enlisted in a revenge scheme by a struggling writer who is hoping to embarrass his father-in-law, a literary titan in the vein of Philip Roth.
The father-in-law's success makes the writer feel bad about himself, his career, his life, and he decides this father-in-law has got to go down.
So he enlists this hustler to disguise himself as a feng shui expert, infiltrate New York's elite, and incriminate them in a variety of ways.
It's gay revenge chaos, but it's also a satire on New York's upper crust and literary types.
I'm so into this.
I'm so into this.
That's what you love to hear when you give a book recommendation.
I have one really quick book I want to shout out because I know very little about it, but it's also an author that I'm like, they're writing it, I'm in.
