“What I Know About You announces Chacour as a storyteller of rare ability: deeply emotional in his substance, elegant and restrained in his style. Chacour is a master of perspective and careful revelation. In his hands, this story about taboo love and a family’s legacy overflows with crushing beauty as it grips readers in its world. What I Know About You is cruel and tender, surprising and inexorable, delicate and overwhelming, necessary and timeless. It is a story that is unlikely to be forgotten.”—2024 Atwood Gibson Writers’ Trust Fiction Prize jury (Saeed Teebi, Joan Thomas, and Uchechukwu Peter Umezurike)

“Until we collapse the distance between bodies, what can we really know about the forces that make and unmake us? What I Know About You pulls readers into the prickled flesh of evolving forms alive with sensation, longing, fear, betrayal, and love. ‘In the beginning was your absence,’ time cares nothing of ‘simple questions,’ the small hand always orbits the large, and we are all arriving ‘a little late.’ Tenderly, Chacour moves us toward each other with a language like poetry, a surgeon’s precision, and a pulsing, undeniable purpose to face what can simply never be understood alone.” — 2024 Dayne Ogilvie Prize for LGBTQ2S+ Emerging Writers jury (Jillian Christmas, Adam Garnet Jones, and Hazel Jane Plante)
