George Falls Through Time

“Breathtaking and brilliant. An incredibly entertaining and intelligent exploration of contemporary loneliness and performance, and the difficult yet transformative act of loving as our ultimate answer. George is a queer hero for our times. It’s hard to put into words how much I love this book.” — Garrard Conley, New York Times bestselling author of Boy Erased and All the World Beside“A big-hearted and inspired reimagining of the legend of Saint George and the dragon, George Falls Through Time gifts us the timeless reminder that love makes the best sword to slay our outsized problems. On top of that, it’s great, page-turning fun.” — Steven Rowley, New York Times bestselling author of The Guncle and The Celebrants“With such a fantastic title, I sat down with George Falls Through Time knowing I was in for a treat, but what I got exceeded every expectation. By traveling to the past, Collett writes with piercing honesty about the loneliness of the present, and the duty we have to counter it with authentic human connection. This is a funny, surprising, profound novel by a writer of abundant talent.” — Grant Ginder, bestselling author of The People We Hate at the Wedding and So Old, So Young“The best works of historical fiction collapse the distance between past and present, and George Falls Through Time excels at this. With breathless wit and cracking poetry, Collett brings us back to England of the 1300s in all its beauty and brutality. An unputdownable read.” — Luna McNamara, author of Psyche and Eros & The Witch and the Huntress“Collett blends entertaining fantasy and romance elements with meditations on the power of love, which George views as the only force strong enough to ‘pull someone through time.’ This queer medieval adventure is great fun.” — Publishers Weekly”Marvelously lovely.” — Library Journal”Few stories manage to unravel in a way that brings their core vividly to life. And yet, George Falls Through Time moves with subtle shifts that lead us deeper into a raw, restless, and wounded interior… . Collett’s writing threads all this together beautifully, with no thought or emotion left untouched.” — The Subtext Review
