このコンテンツについて
NATIONAL BESTSELLER • Shortlisted for the 2024 Dayne Ogilvie Prize for LGBTQ2S+ Emerging Writers
A singular, stunning debut that transcends and transfigures genre—at once a bold retelling of biblical tales and an unforgettable contemporary coming-of-age story, connected in collapsing time across millennia.
There are few love stories in the holy books. Love is what ruins. Love is what costs. Love is a flaming sword at our backs, a garden left to ruin and to wild.
In Dayspring, Anthony Oliveira brings to vibrant, glorious life the gospel according to the disciple Christ loved—his companion in the days before the crucifixion, the only instrument that remembers with fidelity his sound.
Sacred, profane, and rich with explicit desire and a poetic attention to form, Dayspring weaves electric and heart-wrenching stories of passion, grief, destruction, and survival into a narrative unmoored in space and time, one that re-examines and re-frames great and doomed figures from scripture and history, even as it casts its keen eye on the trials of modern life.
Seamlessly blending fiction, memoir, and verse in the exhilarating tradition of Anne Carson and Madeline Miller, Dayspring is an immersive, mesmerizing work, one that wrenches beauty from cataclysm and finds bliss in apocalypse.
©2024 Anthony Oliveira (P)2024 Strange Light批評家のレビュー
“Ambitiously and audaciously, Anthony Oliveira transforms scripture into a poetic and erotic queer love story. Dayspring crosses centuries and genres, bends fan fiction into dazzling verse, and mixes the sacred and the profane with the sublime and the perverse. In a sly nod to red letter bibles, Oliveira uses blood-coloured ink to render the words of Jesus, who emerges as fallible and playful, horny and tender. With the heft of a tome, the lure of a page-turner, and the sweep of an epic poem, Dayspring is an effervescent and poignant work about love and humanity.”—2024 Dayne Ogilvie Prize for LGBTQ2S+ Emerging Writers jury (Jillian Christmas, Adam Garnet Jones, and Hazel Jane Plante)
"What can one say about a masterpiece? Refracting and recombining Christ's journey in the Gospels with the contemporary queer experience—very often the author's own—Anthony Oliveira commingles the earthly and the divine in a deliciously daring work that defies categorization. God is love, we are told, and Dayspring celebrates and interrogates that love in all its forms, illuminating the sacred and the profane in equal measure. Bracing and breathtaking, it is a glorious gift to the soul and the senses. This is a magnificent debut!"—David Demchuk, author of Red X
“Are you ready to be saved, slain, and resurrected by the power of the written word? Are you ready to redefine the meaning of sacredness in the name of all that is queer and holy? It is time to read Dayspring by Anthony Oliveira. This incredible work of verse not only defies genre, but reinvents it entirely, bending space and time to tell the story of Jesus (as you have always imagined, but never seen Him) and the disciple He loved in poetic language that evokes all the passion of the Psalms. Astonishingly beautiful and unrepentantly sexy, this is a book that is sure to both heal and challenge its readers in all the most important ways. To open its pages is to open your heart to a vision of love that is as deeply, tragically, and courageously human as it is divine.”—Kai Cheng Thom, author of Falling Back in Love with Being Human
