Close To Spider Man marks the debut of an exciting new literary talent: a collection of connected stories whose young narrators yearn for truth and beauty amidst the lonely, breathtaking landscape of the Yukon.

The girls in these stories are looking to make a break from their circumstances, but the North is in their bones: so are their connections to family and friends, and to unarticulated desire between women.

Startling in their intimacy, these stories form a moving picture of what it's like to be a young queer woman in the North.
