The Thirty Names of Night

Five years after the mysterious fire that took his mother’s life, a closeted Syrian American trans boy navigates grief, identity, and belonging in the shadows of New York City. When he discovers the long-lost journal of a famed Syrian American artist, the lines between past and present blur, revealing a legacy of hidden queer lives and artistic resistance. Lyrical, magical, and deeply rooted in community, The Thirty Names of Night is a journey of self-discovery, ancestry, and the sacred power of naming oneself.
