We Disappear is a mystery concerning the identity of a teenage boy and the people he draws into his web of half-truths. . . . As always, the care Heim takes with language elevates his material above the tawdry and closer to the sublime. . . . It's not hyperbole to suggest that We Disappear is the eeriest Kansas-set story since Truman Capote's In Cold Blood., Scott Heim has taken contemporary gay literature to new highs. His follow-up to Mysterious Skin is an equally dark and disturbing tale of innocence lost. . . One part mystery, three parts character study, We Disappear will keep you guessing until its shocking conclusion., We Disappear is really about identity and personality, about our constant struggle to know who we are, and about how easy it can be to lose our grip on reality when we try to alter our memories. , "We Disappear is a mystery concerning the identity of a teenage boy and the people he draws into his web of half-truths. . . .
