'Affecting and engaging' COLM TÓIBÍN One of BuzzFeed's Hot LGBTQ+ Books From The First Half Of 2022 Out in the drought-struck backwaters of rural Florida, The Kingdom of Sand 's nameless narrator lives a life of semi-solitude, enjoying the odd, fleeting sexual encounter and the friendship of a few.

But, when forced to watch the slow demise of a close neighbour, he is drawn back to the here and now, and his own borrowed time in this kingdom of sand. An elegy to sex and the body, but also a tragically honest exploration of loneliness and the endless need for human connection, The Kingdom of Sand marks the much-anticipated return of Andrew Holleran.
