The Monkeypox Gospel

In a magical reimagining of a real-world event, Ngofeen gets his first big assignment at The New Yorker. It’s about the global monkeypox outbreak, and he’s the ideal reporter: his parents are from Congo (the virus’s origin), and infections have reached his NYC queer community. But having recently left the evangelical church and broken his vow of lifelong celibacy, Ngofeen risks a public confrontation with the world he’s abandoned – while fearing the gay man he’s becoming. A coming-of-later-age story with nerdy tangents, adapted from the new podcast. Artwork: Daniel El Dibujo.
