"My first introduction to Roxane Gay’s writing — it changed me. I saw myself eerily and perfectly reflected on the pages of her harrowing debut novel. I finally felt understood as I sat frozen reading this book."

"Old School,” is my favorite fictional depiction of boarding school (yes, including “Prep,” my own novel). These episodic, story-like chapters set at a boys’ school in the early 1960s are knowing and hilarious and poignant."

This fascinating little novel is a speculative fiction study about fitting in vs. being different, that's witty, surreal and thought provoking. Read my full review here. https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2015/06/02/in-his-own-space/

I enjoyed book one of the graphic novel, Middlewest. It was pretty imaginative, and I loved the illustrator's work. The story needs a lot more added to it, but book one is a great start.
