"Nick White's How to Survive a Summer is radiant with contradiction: it's a story about facing up to a devastating past that's often laugh-out-loud funny; a book about terrible violence that's lit with the redemptive force of love. In documenting the consequences and inhumane costs of conversion therapy, White has given us a new and exuberantly queer Southern Gothic." -- Garth Greenwell , author of What Belongs to You "How to Survive a Summer is an enthralling debut novel that deals with the controversial subject of gay conversion therapy and its cruel effect on a teenage boy . . . a suspenseful story about redemption and survival." -- John Rechy , author of City of Night and of After the Blue Hour "Nick White shows us that the ghosts of the present need exorcising no less than those of the past. How to Survive a Summer is a sharp, powerful debut novel about coming of age and coming to terms--with family, heritage, violence, loss, and finally with ourselves." --Justin Taylor , author of Everything Here is the Best Thing Ever "[A] spellbinding debut novel, How to Survive a Summer is both terrifying and timely . . . Will Dillard is an endearing character and his journey--both physical and emotional--is incredibly moving. The suspense will urge you to read faster but the skillful language needs to be savored. In the midst of pure terror, there is also a lush wonderful sense of place and a gift for wit and comic relief; there is also courage and hope." -- Jill McCorkle , author of Life After Life "Call it a psychological thriller or a deeply felt chronicle of childhood trauma or a bold query into an identity crisis. No matter how you categorize the novel, How to Survive a Summer is a winning debut, and Nick White is a powerful, fearless, cerebral writer." -- Benjamin Percy , author of The Dark Net , Thrill Me , The Dead Lands and Red Moon Percy "A writer of enormous gifts, Nick White doesn't flinch. His sure-handed, beautifully-written debut novel How to Survive a Summer is very much a tale for these tumultuous times, and it's also a book that I expect will be re-read and savored for many years to come." -- Steve Yarbrough , author of The Realm of Last Chances, "Nick White's How to Survive a Summer is radiant with contradiction: it's a story about facing up to a devastating past that's often laugh-out-loud funny; a book about terrible violence that's lit with the redemptive force of love. In documenting the consequences and inhumane costs of conversion therapy, White has given us a new and exuberantly queer Southern Gothic." -- Garth Greenwell , author of What Belongs to You "While reading Nick White's How to Survive a Summer , I found myself nodding along with White's remarkably accurate depictions not just of the conversion therapy practices many of us survivors know all too well but also of the years of denial and humor we hid behind in an effort to put the past thoroughly behind us. At turns funny and moving, White's novel is an essential catharsis." -- Garrard Conley , author of Boy Erased "How to Survive a Summer is an enthralling debut novel that deals with the controversial subject of gay conversion therapy and its cruel effect on a teenage boy . . . a suspenseful story about redemption and survival." -- John Rechy , author of City of Night and of After the Blue Hour "[A] spellbinding debut novel [that] is both terrifying and timely. Will Dillard is an endearing character and his journey--both physical and emotional--is incredibly moving. The suspense will urge you to read faster but the skillful language needs to be savored." -- Jill McCorkle , author of Life After Life "How to Survive a Summer is ablaze with urgency and insight, an audacious revelation of a novel. " -- Claire Vaye Watkins , author of Gold Fame Citrus "How to Survive a Summer's Will Dillard had a childhood that would be right at home in the lush queer landscapes of an early Capote novel, and Nick White's remarkable debut handles that territory with humor and horror. Add to that the trauma of religiously-informed conversion therapy and a campy slasher movie, and you have a Southern Gothic coming-of-gayge that kept me speed-reading into the night." -- Emily Danforth , author of The Miseducation of Cameron Post "Nick White shows us that the ghosts of the present need exorcising no less than those of the past. How to Survive a Summer is a sharp, powerful debut novel about coming of age and coming to terms--with family, heritage, violence, loss, and finally with ourselves." --Justin Taylor , author of Everything Here is the Best Thing Ever "Call it a psychological thriller or a deeply felt chronicle of childhood trauma or a bold query into an identity crisis.

Synopsis
**Named One of Book Riot 's BEST QUEER BOOKS OF 2017** "Packed with story and drama ... If Tennessee Williams's 'Suddenly Last Summer' could be transposed to the 21st-century South, where queer liberation co-exists alongside the stubborn remains of fire and brimstone, it might read something like this juicy, moving hot mess of a novel." -Tim Murphy, The Washington Post A searing debut novel centering around a gay-to-straight conversion camp in Mississippi and a man's reckoning with the trauma he faced there as a teen. Camp Levi, nestled in the Mississippi countryside, is designed to "cure" young teenage boys of their budding homosexuality. Will Dillard, a midwestern graduate student, spent a summer at the camp as a teenager, and has since tried to erase the experience from his mind. But when a fellow student alerts him that a slasher movie based on the camp is being released, he is forced to confront his troubled history and possible culpability in the death of a fellow camper. As past and present are woven together, Will recounts his "rehabilitation," eventually returning to the abandoned campgrounds to solve the mysteries of that pivotal summer, and to reclaim his story from those who have stolen it. With a masterful confluence of sensibility and place, How to Survive a Summer is a searing, unforgettable novel that introduces an exciting new literary voice.
