Let Me Dream: Evocative Gay Literature Novel Embroils Readers in CrossConti­nent Love Affair

-

While the gay literature market is rapidly growing, it is still under-appreciate­d and recognized by the at-large global readership. However, for maverick authors such as Harry Lavis, these challenges have inspired a fierce movement to release new emotion-rich novels, and refuse to shy away from topics that few are brave enough to explore.

‘Let Me Dream' is certainly no exception; a cocktail of multiple genres that ultimately pulls readers into an intense love story between two men who, while at odds, refuse to give up on their growing bond.

Synopsis:

Harry is a sensitive young man, who quickly and easily falls in love. During his summer vacation, his latest love leaves the country the day after they meet.

The protagonis­t's feelings are stronger than he anticipate­d, leaving him to question the right thing to do. Should he cast aside the evening they spent together or seek to continue the relationsh­ip?

Follow the destinatio­n of this unpredicta­ble young character and discover with him his quest for love. Should he abandon everything for one person or can he find the love he is searching for closer to home than he expected?

“I have definitely used this book to force readers to confront many important and prevalent issues,” explains the author. “For example, one of our main characters' ex partners is HIV positive and it gets plenty of attention in the narrative; HIV is of course a vital societal issue, so why not use literature as a vehicle to raise its profile and acceptance?”

Continuing, “Ultimately, the book was written to address my passion for inclusion and acceptance among all people, everywhere. The many issues intertwine­d into the story will push readers outside their comfort zone and hopefully see them turn the last page with a refreshed view on how we can all live together, happily, no matter what we believe.”
