Episode 12 - What Not To Read (when you're first coming out)


T his week I talk about THEFT by BK Loren and THE BIG BANG SYMPHONY by Lucy Jane Bledsoe, I also direct you to a lovely reading of Stuart Dybek's story "Paper Latern" read by ZZ Packer on the New Yorker Fiction Podcast--not sure if it counts as queer, but it felt that way to me so I send you that way.

I also talk about the two books my lovely wife read when she first started to realize she might be gay. Very dark, very grim books. Perhaps not the best choice she could have made.

You should totally check out the New Yorker Fiction Podcast. Great way to learn about new authors and hear some fantastic talk about how great fiction works. The episode I talked about this week  featured ZZ Packer reading Stuart Dybek.
