Revisiting ‘#Iowa,’ #PatrickMoore’s #neglected #gay #novel

Patrick Moore’s #book is a prime example of overlooked #Midwestern #literature that deserves renewed #attention. Set against the #conservative #backdrop of #Smalltown #Iowa, the #novel explores the #life of a #closeted #gay #teenager navigating #desire, #repression, and #identity in the 1990s.

I’ve noticed people are listing hashtags of #interests in an #introduction to help find like-minded people, so here goes:

And I've just edited this toot to include capital letters in multi-word hashtags so as to be screenreader friendly (this is something I know but often forget to do).
