Thanks for this. Both because I'm writing a graphic memoir about my fucked up childhood, and also because I read Bastard Out of Carolina when it first came out and I'm sure it altered my worldview, but I've never read Dorothy Allison since so I see I'd better read *Skin*.
I am glad to see you visiting Nashville! I have followed you and your work for years and live three hours South in Birmingham, Alabama. Going to see about coming up for the event and masterclass. And pre-ordering the book!
I look forward to your Kripalu workshop! (Recommend by my friend and FC colleague, Susie M.)
In preparation, I’m making time to go through my journals, correspondence and extensive 80’s photo archive! For me, this looking back is a great distraction from current events!
Australia here and much as I’d like to attend, it’s not happening. I have to thank you though, your post about Permission couldn’t have come at a better time. In Greece, we say ‘may your book travel well’ when a book is launched.
This is the book I so desperately need, as I work out how to pack two years of intense documenting of two of the most unexpected, earth-shattering events in my life, 2023-2025. The outline is firming up, as is the anxiety about my right to tell an intergenerational story of trauma and enmeshment (the latter only just coming to light this last year). Will you be doing zoom events for us over the other side of the pond? Thought you might have a chat with Katherine (May) at some point? I'd love to hear you speak on the subject xx
Lighthouse Books and Edinburgh Book Festival both do great online events, I think Edinburgh Book Fest hasn't quite finished their programming for the year - might be able to squeeze in. And Society of Authors host monthly online talks, think they'd be a great platform ❤️
Sorry I just realised you said you'll be here in late spring - EIBF is in August. I hope you manage to get a lovely tour organised, so many people will benefit from this work 😊
Congratulations on all the fabulous events! I'm going to try and make the Politics & Prose (I'm in Baltimore. I had an event at that branch of the store once and it was really nice)
crossing fingers and toes you might consider coming even further north, to Toronto... XO
I would love it. I love Toronto. A wonderful city.
Pretty please 🤎🤎🤎

Thank you! I’d love to come to Alabama at some point—
Would love to take that kripalu class!
Join us!
Chicago? Wonderful independant bookstore in the Andersonville neighborhood - Women & Children First https://www.womenandchildrenfirst.com/
I love that bookstore—
Are you responsible for the bookings? I can write them a note on your behalf ... but don't want to overstep.
That’s very kind of you—thank you. My publicist generally does it, but I’ve been doing more of it lately.
keep us posted :)

I look forward to meeting you in person-
I don’t suppose Indiana could make the list?
Why not?!

I will! I’d love to be in conversation with Katherine about this. 🙏🏻💗
Excellent! I will fore sure be there (and I'll tell my writing networks) ❤️
Thank you. I’ll be in the UK late this spring - we’re trying to find a way to bring the book there.

WhooHoo. I get to say hello at Politics and Prose!
Looking forward to it Anita!

And yeah, Kripalu! I'm also teaching there in August! https://susanweisbohlen.com/events-1/the-embodied-writing-method-using-ayurveda-for-creativity-and-flow

I can not wait for this book and to hopefully see you out here in Seattle. ♥️
Thank you—it’d be lovely to see you again!
