In her own words, here is Sassafras Lowrey's Book Notes music playlist for her novel Lost Boi:Ĭreating a Lost Boi playlist is like making a mixed tape for a new lover-one part nervousness, one part excitement, and another a little part of yourself mixed in with songs you stay up all night listening to because the remind you of the other person so much. Stream a playlist of these songs at Spotify. A tale for bois and grrls who know that the greatest adventures happen when we dare to stray from the path." "Neverland has always been a place of dangers, and in this gritty reimagining, Sassafras Lowrey fearlessly leads us into the dark forests and murky lagoons of desire, longing, and self-discovery. Sassafras Lowrey's Lost Boi is an ingenious and compelling queer and punk reimagining of Peter Pan, cleverly told from the perspective of a young boi in service to Pan. Boyle, Dana Spiotta, Amy Bloom, Aimee Bender, Jesmyn Ward, Heidi Julavits, Hari Kunzru, and many others.

Sassafras's books, Kicked Out, Roving Pack, and Leather Ever After, have been honored by organizations ranging from the National Leather Association to the American Library Association.In the Book Notes series, authors create and discuss a music playlist that relates in some way to their recently published book. Sassafras Lowrey is a straight-edge queer punk who won the Lambda Literary Emerging Writer Award and was named to the inaugural Trans 100 list by We Be Trans. Like a fever-pitched dream, Lost Boi situates a children's fantasy within a subversive alternative reality, chronicling the lost bois' search for belonging, purpose, and their struggle against the biggest battle of all: growing up.
Told from the point of view of Tootles, Pan's best boi, the lost bois call the Neverland squat home, creating their own idea of family, and united in their allegiance to Pan, the boi who cannot be broken, and their refusal to join ranks with Hook and the leather pirates. In Sassafras Lowrey's gorgeous queer punk reimagining of the classic Peter Pan story, prepare to be swept overboard into a world of orphaned, abandoned, and runaway bois who have sworn allegiance and service to Pan, the fearless leader of the Lost Bois brigade and the newly corrupted Mommy Wendi who, along with the tomboy John Michael, Pan convinces to join him at Neverland.
