I'm so happy to share that my memoir No Son of Mine is available for pre-order @KentuckyPress! It's a book about mother/son relationships, estrangement and grieving, Appalachia, queer love, and ultimately, forging new families beyond bloodlines. <3 kentuckypress.com/9780813198…

🎧 New Ep: @cpbrownnarrator performs @thejoncorcoran’s intimate memoir of his relationship with his mother after she discovers he’s gay. Host Jo Reed & AudioFile’s @kdwinchester discuss this moving listen. @TantorAudio bit.ly/AFMpodcast
Don’t forget JD Vance’s connections to quiet billionaire puppeteer Peter Thiel who says “I no longer believe that freedom and democracy are compatible” and has some choice words about women getting the right to vote.
You all, THAT book is currently no. 1 on Amazon right now. Do me a favor and get out there and buy a book--any book--from an Appalachian author you love. Don't let this man set and control the narrative of a region (or God forbid, the whole country).

"It turned out that reading Phillips’ stories and novels was a crash course in how the dust of conflict lands everywhere, how the reverberations from foreign battles are felt in the places we consider safe." @thejoncorcoran lithub.com/in-praise-of-puli…

Pittsburgh, come out TONIGHT for an exciting conversation with @thejoncorcoran discussing his new memoir No Son of Mine in conversation with @cparravani — you don't want to miss it!
So happy to share my small contribution on why @PulitzerPrizes winner @jayneanneonly is so great and why she deserves all the praise. Thanks to @lithub for giving me the space to talk about Phillips' writing and kind mentorship. And thanks to @KentuckyPress for arranging.

I'm just over the moon that @jayneanneonly has won the Pulitzer Prize in Fiction for Night Watch. So deserved! Her work is such an important part of American literature. Nobody writes like her. Celebrate JA!

“No Son of Mine is a deeply personal view of what it means to be a son, and when one has to stop being a son and become someone else — a husband, a friend, or even oneself.”

Incredibly grateful for this review of No Son of Mine up now @ShelfAwareness (thank you Kristen Coates for such a thoughtful reading): "In accessible and painfully lovely prose, Corcoran wrestles with the truth and fallibility of memory." shelf-awareness.com/sar-issu… @KentuckyPress
