Central to SLEEP TIGHT SATELLITE is the theme of queer chosen family. This positive form of connection contrasts with violent pseudo-communities formed by policing, government control, and technological surveillance. Characters struggle to survive the pandemic, but their survival skills were honed long before the Covid-19 outbreak. There's a gritty realism to the odd jobs characters take to survive, and the ways they create loving communities of mutual aid.
"Carol Guess builds the most wondrous word-nests, each one holding something precious, each one surrounded by the world-at-large, afire. In remarkable lyrical fiction after another, Carol Guess writes her darling heart out."--Randall Brown, author of Mad to Live, founder of Matter Press
