Out East is the portrait of a summer, of The Hive and the people who lived in it, and John's own reckoning with a half-formed sense of self. At twenty-seven, he was crippled by an all-encompassing loneliness, a feeling he had carried in his heart for as long as he could remember. Packing his duffel for that first Memorial Day Weekend, he prayed for clarity. In 2013, John Glynn joined the share house. Against the moonlight the house's octagonal roof resembled a bee's nest. The house was a ramshackle split-level set on a hill, and each summer thirty-one people would sleep between its thin walls and shag carpets. They call Montauk the end of the world, a spit of land jutting into the Atlantic.
An "extraordinary" debut memoir of first love, identity, and self-discovery among a group of friends who became family in a Montauk summer house (Andrew Solomon, National Book Award winner).
