Hi—I’m new here! I’ve written six novels & my next book, a trans BIPOC oral history, drops May 2025. Gathering these stories has been one of the greatest honors of my life. I can’t begin to express how these elders’ voices have inspired & sustained me. I hope they can inspire & sustain you too. 💜🏳️‍⚧️

The Novels We’re Reading in December Stories about houses and the meaning of home, from Cape Cod to Kolkata.

In @foreignpolicy.com's December fiction column, I review Nayantara Roy's spellbinding debut novel, "The Magnificent Ruins," published by @algonquinbooks.bsky.social. It's set between Brooklyn and Kolkata and is one of my favorite books of the year.

I'm excited to announce a holiday giveaway with my local indie Buffalo Street Books! When you buy a copy of ENDPAPERS during December, it will come with a free chapbook titled BOYS/GIRLS with flash fiction & poetry by 8 contributors! Details in the replies!
