And Then the Gray Heaven

A Tender Novel of Grief and Queer Family

After Jules’ partner B dies, Jules reflects on B’s work as an artist and their life together. They decide to take a less-than-legal road trip to scatter B's ashes at the art they created.

And Then the Grey Heaven captures a very particular kind of queer and trans grief that I found connection with, partly due to R.E. Katz's personal writing style. It’s a cathartic read, heartbreaking and beautiful and full of love. Fans of Small Beauty and Little Blue Encyclopedia will enjoy this novella.
