Good mail day! I read this beautiful memoir by @rslarson.bsky.social in manuscript and am just thrilled to now be holding a finished copy. It's one of the most gentle books you'll ever read about horror and horrors, and one of the most affecting.
I'm so floored by this gorgeous and generous review of my book in The Brooklyn Rail by @danielallencox.bsky.social: "[I]t is impossible to prepare for the way that Larson describes, in this vivid and cinematic memoir debut, the summer that defined his life." 🏳️🌈

"[T]his is of course what blogs and memoirs are for, sharing secrets with strangers that you’d never tell your friends." @alexanderchee.bsky.social

Guerra attempts to maneuver around obstacles with riverine language, and tensions organize around this effort.
Very excited and grateful to launch my debut book next month in conversation with Grant Ginder at Lofty Pigeon Books in Brooklyn! 🤓🏳️🌈
Another gorgeous essay by @bethmachlan.bsky.social from her manuscript about home: "Even today, that is when I get a sense of rightness so overwhelming it feels almost like a threat, the appreciation of all I have and everything I could lose."
