The world is ending. How would you spend your last days?
In TJ Klune's newest standalone novel, WE BURNED SO BRIGHT, older queer married couple Don and Rodney decide to take their RV on the road, leaving their home in Maine to travel across the US to Washington state to settle unfinished business.

As with his other novels, Klune deftly shines a light on the quirky exquisiteness of individual beings living ordinary yet emotionally complex lives in extraordinary times. As the world-shattering black hole advances ever closer to sucking Earth into oblivion, radical and essential humanity takes center stage. Reading this tiny book packed with hope and heart, I couldn't help but wonder: what legacy of love might I carry into The End...
