Resumen del editor

A Publishers Weekly Notable Book

49th Shelf Recommended Read

A modern gay memoir exploring love, death, pain, and community that will resonate long after the last word.

“This is an embodied story of love, loss, and recovery - raw, candid, and filled with a sense of awe at human resilience.” (Shelf Awareness)

“A timely story so human, so beautiful, so bravely told with heart and humour.” (Rosie O’Donnell)

A lifetime of finding punchlines in his heartache comes to a shuddering stop when comedian and writer Shawn Hitchins loses two great loves, five months apart, to sudden death. In this deeply poignant memoir that combines sober self-portrait with tender elegy, Hitchins explores the messiness of being alive: the longing and desire, scorching-earth anger, raw grief - and the pathway of healing he discovers when he lets his heart remain open.

Never without an edge of self-awareness, The Light Streamed Beneath It invites the listener into Hitchins’s world as he reckons with his past and stays painfully in the present. As he builds an embodied future, he confronts the stories that have shaped him, sets aside his ambition, and seeks connection in what he used to deflect with laughter - therapy, community and chosen family, movement, spirituality, and an awareness of death’s ever-presence.

A heartrending and hope-filled story of resilience in the wake of death, The Light Streamed Beneath It joyfully affirms that life is essentially good, as Hitchins weaves his tale full of tenacious spirit, humor, kindness, and grit through life’s most unforgiving challenges.

Reseñas de la crítica

“This is an embodied story of love, loss and recovery - raw, candid and filled with a sense of awe at human resilience.” (Shelf Awareness)

“Deeply moving and beautifully told, The Light Streamed Beneath It manages the remarkable: to share an impossibly sad story with vulnerability and tenderness while also carrying us through the pain with care and grace - and even weaving in joy, desire, and utter aliveness along the way. Shawn Hitchins’s path of rebuilding trust in life after absolute heartbreak will stay with me always.” (Christa Couture, author of How to Lose Everything)

“Shawn Hitchins’s writing is generous, beautiful, and fearless in its authenticity; it so warmly embraces love and all that it means to experience it. Each page of The Light Streamed Beneath It is a celebration of life and the complexity of humanity, assuring every reader that we’re not alone in our darkness or loss. Frankly, it is one of the most important books that I’ve read.” (Anne T. Donahue, author of Nobody Cares)
