Hi—I’m new here! I’ve written six novels & my next book, a trans BIPOC oral history, drops May 2025. Gathering these stories has been one of the greatest honors of my life. I can’t begin to express how these elders’ voices have inspired & sustained me. I hope they can inspire & sustain you too. 💜🏳️⚧️

In @foreignpolicy.com's December fiction column, I review Nayantara Roy's spellbinding debut novel, "The Magnificent Ruins," published by @algonquinbooks.bsky.social. It's set between Brooklyn and Kolkata and is one of my favorite books of the year.

The best novels of 2024 were notably unafraid to rewrite the past, lacing shimmering, enriching new narratives through personal and cultural histories. Even better: Many of them made us laugh.
