Ever After

Fiction

“Unexpected eruption of literary scholarship? Sly exercise in historical revisionism? Visionary ode to the healing power of queer love? You will have fun deciding for yourself what Andrew Ramer is up to with Ever After.”

Performance Anxiety

“Jonathan Lerner’s deceptively breezy memoir roots around in his peripatetic childhood not just for the sake of telling colorful, funny stories but in search of truth, accuracy, and in some cases self-forgiveness. He is excruciatingly honest about the self-torture queer boys undergo in their effort to live up to some flimsy concept of acceptable masculinity. Along the way he investigates the peculiar phenomenon of memory, seemingly concrete and yet surprisingly malleable to the forces of time, shame, and distance.”

Tales of an Urban Mystic

History & Biography

“Lily Tomlin once pondered, ‘Why is it when we talk to God we’re said to be praying but when God talks to us we’re schizophrenic?’ Given his penchant for hearing voices, remembering places he’d never been, and having encounters with beings from other realities, Andrew Ramer wondered as a child if indeed he were crazy. Happily, he learned to channel his experiences in ways that allowed him to forge profound connections with kindred spirits. Tales of an Urban Mystic is a delicious exercise in life review, as Ramer introduces us to the people, places, realizations, and visitations that formed him and led him through his ‘amazing journey to Now.’”
