Reviews
"Something like a small miracle: a bittersweet portrait of love in the shadows." - Booklist (starred review) "Sumptuous . . . Griffin delivers a novel robust with flavor and brimming with passion." - ShelfAwareness "Forceful . . . A compassionate portrait of a lifelong love that will linger with readers." - Publishers Weekly "A masterful novel. Every page aches with life." - Gail Godwin, author of FLORA "Both beautiful and painful, Hide is a wonderful first novel. Full of humor and tragedy, the book reveals the sacrifices that people are often willing to make to keep their love, even if they must hide it from the world." - Gay and Lesbian Review "Brilliantly assured . . . poignant . . . beautiful . . . Hide is dark and deep--almost the proverbial assured debut. I finished it in tears, impatient to see the development of such a talented writer." - The Sunday Telegraph "Stunning . . . What a book Hide is. Each chapter holds a thousand tiny truths, not just what it is to be in a relationship, or to be gay, but what it is to simply negotiate life. Masterfully written, it manages to be subtle and heartfelt, but also wrought and visceral. Undoubtedly one of the novels of the year, this is a book that demands to be endlessly read, gifted, and read again. Spread the word." - Gay Community News "Extraordinary . . . A tender and beautiful love story . . . Hide is like finding a faded vintage photograph of two men in love and then unearthing the story of how they came to find each other, and at what cost." - Boyz Magazine "Griffin creates a fascinating and raw journey for Frank and Wendell, championing the love between two people, regardless of the lack of support from the outside world. Deeply touching and thought provoking." - The Scotland Herald "A glimpse at a remarkable love." - Justin Torres, author of WE THE ANIMALS "Tough but compassionate and beautifully observed, Matthew Griffin's debut novel is a moving story about the persistence of love." - Maggie Shipstead, author of SEATING ARRANGEMENTS and ASTONISH ME "Tender, restrained, Hide is the freshly imagined story of a gay male couple who decide to give up the world --friends, family, career -- in order to live out their forbidden love in the decades before gay liberation. This is a great love story." - Edmund White, author of OUR YOUNG MAN "Reading Matthew Griffin's Hide , I kept saying to myself 'at last!': a novel that follows the trajectory of a marriage (in fact if not in name) between two men over the course of decades, and does so with grit, humor, and compassion! Hide is a welcome and important work." - David Leavitt, author of THE TWO HOTEL FRANCFORTS "This is the rare thing: an important, funny, beautifully observed novel about love. A great debut." - Stuart Nadler, author of WISE MEN, Tough but compassionate and beautifully observed, Matthew Griffin's debut novel is an unflinching look at the cost of isolation in an intolerant society and a moving story about the persistence of love., "Tough but compassionate and beautifully observed, Matthew Griffin's debut novel is an unflinching look at the cost of isolation in an intolerant society and a moving story about the persistence of love." --Maggie Shipstead, author of SEATING ARRANGEMENTS and ASTONISH ME "Reading Matthew Griffin's Hide , I kept saying to myself 'at last!': a novel that follows the trajectory of a marriage (in fact if not in name) between two men over the course of decades, and does so with grit, humor, and compassion!
