Crawl // Graywolf Press, 2025

Max Delsohn’s debut collection of stories is rich with queerness. His characters hinge on gender, fixate on sexuality, and explore what it means to be human as a Trans or Queer person. The stories, set in Seattle, struggle with self-doubt and bravery, with transition and settling. Full of glory holes, T, shriveled vaginas, drugs, tops and bottoms, and cock—the collection does not disappoint.

Crawl—Read this book if you are looking for empathy in a time of false idols.
