In this stunning work of speculative urban fiction, Redfern Jon Barrett breaks down the binary between utopia and dystopia--presenting an ambitopian vision of the world's first gay state.


A glittering gay metropolis of 24 million people, Berlin is a bustling world of pride parades, polyamorous trysts, and even an official gay language. Its distant radio broadcasts are a lifeline for teenagers William and Gareth, who flee toward sanctuary. But is there a place for them in the deeply divided city?


Meanwhile, young mother Cissie loves Berlin's towering high rises and chaotic multiculturalism, yet she's never left her heterosexual district--not until she and her family are trapped in a queer riot. With her husband Howard plunging into religious paranoia, she discovers a walled-off slum of perpetual twilight, home to the city's forbidden trans residents.


Challenging assumptions of sex and gender, Proud Pink Sky questions how much of ourselves we need to sacrifice in order to find identity and community.
