Sourcebooks

Small Crimes is a heartbreaking and beautiful valentine between historical moments. Mexico’s early twentieth century art world, its Hollywood moment, is sweetly subverted in Tom Carey’s twitching hands. Reading it I’m grateful for his insouciant homoeroticsm and popping dialogue because they make this novel more memory than simulacrum. Meaning it really feels true. —Eileen Myles, author of The Importance of Being Iceland Tom Carey’s Small Crimes is both a passionate novel of hapless love, depicting the way the lonely celebrity of genius neglected in its lifetime is granted and sustained, and an astute critical exegesis on prison art, for can it be seriously doubted that all true art puts the true artist in a walled garden all but smothered in weeds, ordering him to create a beautiful environment, or that love is from beginning to end a maximum insecurity prison? No. The crimes are not so small after all. —James McCourt, author of Now Voyagers and Queer Street “… Carey brings history to life with an utterly original poetic voice. His novel teems with complicated life as it takes on issues of faith, social inequity, and sexuality, and with empathy, wit and a deeply felt humanity.” —Will Scheffer, Writer/Creator of Big Love Small Crimes, Tom Carey’s first novel, channels triumphantly, and with deep empathy, the ghost of Manuel Rodríguez Lozano, an important and singular Mexican painter who dared to live openly as a homosexual at a time in Latin America when homosexuals were routinely scorned by society and persecuted by repressive governments. But Carey’s debut novel is also a fascinating and complex recreation of Mexican history, culture, and mores in the first half of the 20th century. I was riveted by Small Crimes, and I suspect you will be too. —Jaime Manrique, author of Our Lives Are the Rivers
