On today's episode, we welcome Kimberly King Parsons, author of the new novel We Were the Universe, from Knopf. Her story collection, Black Light, which came out in 2019, was longlisted for the National Book Award and the Story Prize.
These are the best books by queer-identifying writers about LGBTQ+ stories, from moving memoirs to heartwarming romances to gripping thrillers to YA novels.
The first annual "Portland Book Week," organized by independent bookstores across the Portland-Vancouver metro area, will celebrate the area's literary community.
The author explores the painful intersections of grief and parenting in this novel about a young mother mourning the death of her addict sister while trying to raise her preschool-aged daughter. Luckily for readers, Parsons casts an empathetic eye on her characters, finding the moments of humor as life goes on.
