Pansy is a novel constructed of 32 interlacing stories tracing the contours of a sometimes-delusional and other times hallucinatory experience of the life, fun and trauma that goes hand-in-hand with living in a cold-hearted capitalist regime. The story takes you from a dungeon in Park Slope to Central Booking, stopping by random street fairs, a few neighborhood bars, the psych ward at Woodhull, and even some small town in Connecticut, as a young queer protagonist misidentifies the prevailing narrative thread of his own life. Confused where his story ends and his friend’s stories begin — and where the line between his own personal problems and greater political crisis exists.
