A Most-Anticipated Book of 2021 by BuzzFeed, The Millions, LGBTQ Reads<\/em>, and more, Let\u2019s Get Back to the Party<\/em> is \u201cA gorgeously written meditation on being a gay man in America now . . . Raw and captivating.\u201d \u2014BookPage<\/em>. AdBiblio\u2019s Senior Campaign Strategist Karli (@adbiblio_reads) says: “Zak Salih presents a queer generation coming to terms with their dynamic collective history and creating space for a future that is even more dynamic and nuanced. Along the way, there is some great discussion of art, literature, sex, aging, and pop culture. Much like Detransition, Baby<\/em> (which is another excellent piece of queer lit and a great companion piece!), Let\u2019s Get Back to the Party <\/em>offers thoughtful and forward conversations about the beautiful and complex spaces we hold for both collective and individual identity.” She also had a blast matching her nails to the amazing book cover!<\/p>\n\n\n
