"This is a splendid retelling, and retooling, of the Arthurian legends, and in particular of the story of Sir Lancelot. John Glynn, wearing his considerable learning lightly, has fashioned an alternative version of an ancient tale, with a result that is at once vigorous and magical. Camelot will never be the same again."--John Banville, Booker Prize-winning author
"John Glynn has written an astonishing reimagining of Arthurian legend in The Lost Book of Lancelot. The world Glynn creates here is so richly detailed and evocative that I felt completely transported - and stayed awake far too late turning these pages. It was such a joy to step out of the real world and into this one for a while."--Mary Beth Keane, New York Times bestselling author
"John Glynn's enthralling debut is a sensory, sensual retelling of Arthurian legend that feels both timely and timeless. Finally we have a hero's coming-of-age that echoes the queerness of its origins by weaving together magic, forbidden love, and heartbreak -- ultimately resulting in a novel that not only exhilarates, but also heals."--Justinian Huang, Stonewall Award-winning author of The Emperor and the Endless Palace
