Synopsis: From the award-winning essayist and author of the &“shrewd as hell and hysterically funny&” (Carmen Maria Machado, author of Her Body and Other Parties) novel Cheer Up, Mr. Widdicombe comes a moving and unforgettable essay collection about his travels around the globe as he reflects on the power and complexity of human relationships. From the award-winning essay &“Lover&’s Theme,&” in which Evan James explores the life of a drag queen in San Francisco, to his poignant story of coming out in &“One Hell of a Homie,&” set against the backdrop of the 1992 film Class Act, this essay collection brilliantly captures both the beauty and pain of relationships—friendly, familiar, and romantic. I&’ve Been Wrong Before is an eye-opening and heartfelt illustration of how our differences are often the things that bring us closer together. Masterfully balancing tremendous insight with startling humor, this absorbing collection features Evan James&’s &“wry intelligence and sense of the absurd&” (R.O. Kwon, author of The Incendiaries) and is perfect for fans of Alexander Chee and Maggie Nelson.
