At the show at the amazing @lionessbookstx , the owner, Sarah, asked me what I was reading right now. I answered The Slip by @lucaseschaefer and Monster of a Land by @reallaurenhough and, while that is true, it fell short of my current reading list by about a dozen books. Who else keeps an entire bookshelf going simultaneously? Should I seek help? Maybe a self help book called One Book at Time, Please (that I absolutely would not read by itself. Or at all.)

Mini “revummry”: The nephew, the sprawling cast, and the layers that unravel almost rhythmically is what did it for me. The Slip is a masterclass in storytelling. 🥊📖

My grandma was born in Cottageville, South Carolina; a town in Colleton County of less than 600 people. In the nine years I spent on my debut novel, I familiarized myself with the place she came from—through her stories and through the documents she and our relatives collected over the years. I hope I honored our places and the folks we come from.

It is humbling to be longlisted for the @crooksbookprize alongside these stories that bring the American South to life.
