The Other Gaze

di Kristina Kirilova (Autore)

Kristina Kirilova, 2025

One morning, the world's desires flip. Every sexual orientation has inverted — the straight are now drawn to their own sex; the gay find themselves reaching in the opposite direction. The people you were drawn to yesterday no longer pull at you. The ones you overlooked suddenly blaze with possibility. Families fracture, relationships mutate, and governments scramble to regulate the chaos as if longing itself has become a biological hazard. Across continents, ordinary lives tilt on their axes: In New York, scientists race to decode the phenomenon before panic hardens into policy. In Tokyo and Madrid, friendships, crushes, and marriages teeter as people try to understand who they are now meant to be. In Thessaloniki, a restless university student finds herself torn between fear and reinvention as the city rearranges itself around new truths. And through it all moves the possibility of connection — fragile, dangerous, and newly recalibrated. The Other Gaze weaves together humor, philosophy, global politics, and the intimate confessions of people trying to make sense of a world where desire no longer obeys old rules. From cafés to laboratories, dance floors to family kitchens, the novel traces the tiny rebellions and unexpected freedoms that emerge when the heart refuses to behave. A sharp, moving, and unexpectedly hopeful literary novel for readers who love character-driven stories with big ideas at their core — a story about adaptation, longing, and the quiet courage of wanting more, even when the world feels newly impossible.
