The Mill on the Floss
Buy on Amazon"For anyone who hasn't already read this book, I highly recommend that you go and grab it."
The Mill on the Floss
Buy on Amazon"We're going to put a link in the caption so that you can order it right now, Page Boy."
The Mill on the Floss
Buy on Amazon"Elliot, as I read through the book, I felt very grateful that someone was letting us in on such an intimate part of their life and doing it in such a graceful and thoughtful way."
The Mill on the Floss
Buy on Amazon"Personally, I enjoy nonlinear books where different themes, topics, and emotions can collide; it's inherently exciting to me."
The Mill on the Floss
Buy on Amazon"One part that felt very journal-like in your book was at the end where you describe being at the show with Mark and having a moment of self-love that you wanted to hold onto."
The Mill on the Floss
Buy on Amazon"That felt very diary-like; I thought it was unique and I wanted to know why you chose to end the book at 16 years old."
The Mill on the Floss
Buy on Amazon"Again, we talked about the nonlinear structure, but specifically to end on that note after going through your journey back and forth—what was it that you wanted to convey by ending there?"
The Mill on the Floss
Buy on Amazon"Well, I felt like I sort of began the book at this time that was also involved with Mark, during a period of feeling more self-love and feeling closer to myself, falling in love with my first girlfriend, Paula."
Parable of the Talents
Buy on Amazon"Oh, I've been reading Octavia Butler, and I’m embarrassed to say I hadn't read her before."
Our Wives under the Sea
Buy on Amazon"I've been reading more novels lately; both of Octavia Butler's books are novels, but also, Our Wide Under the Sea was tremendous, and Brandon Taylor's new novel—I’m trying to remember if it's called The Last Americans—I might be getting the name wrong."
The Mill on the Floss
Buy on Amazon"I feel like I’ve been moved by you sharing your experience so thoughtfully and intimately in your book, but also getting the opportunity to sit with you today."
