“Both audacious and restrained, expansive and provincial, relevant and quaint.”
—Kathleen Rooney, The Paris Review (2018)

“A multifaceted classic.”
—Phoebe Mogharei, Chicago magazine (2018)

Originally published in 1893, The Cliff-Dwellers was the first “Chicago novel” to win national acclaim, written by Chicago’s first LGBTQ novelist, Henry Blake Fuller. In 2010, Chicago magazine ranked it the sixth-best Chicago novel of all time.
