Didn't see this coming. I Felt the End Before It Came is a PW Best Book of the Year. 😭

"There’s a live-wire intensity running through Cox's prose that makes this easy to read and difficult to forget."

Happy to be here with so many writers I admire. Thank you, Publishers Weekly!

A mini documentary about I Felt the End Before It Came is now premiering at the Winnipeg International Writers Festival. 🥳

There's some behind the scenes of the five wild years it took to write the book, and of course, some Montreal weirdness:

Marquette, Michigan's daily newspaper runs reviews of new arrivals at the local public library, and this one is sending me 😳

My book is really getting out there.

Mark and I recently realized that the first concert we went to together was Sinéad O'Connor's free outdoor show in Montreal in the summer of 1997— eight years before we met. Of course. Here's Mark in Dublin in 2019.

RIP, Sinéad. Today we remember and feel your power.

Some news: we're making a mini-documentary about my book, to premiere at a literary festival this fall. 😭

We broke through a fence to get this outtake, which is fitting —I can't separate my life from le Stade.

What a thing to wake up to, in Montreal Review of Books:

"A captivating, richly layered text that dismantles any reductive ideas readers may hold about indoctrination, departures, comings-out, and the practice of memoir-writing itself."
