What a nice weekend surprise to see Louisa Ermelino's @publisherswkly Open Book feature on Ancestor Trouble, with cameos and insight from my amazing agent Julie Barer (@thebookgrp), and my brilliant editor Andrea Walker (@atrandombooks). Some of the family history here got a little garbled in the translation — undoubtedly my fault, talking loosely about so many lines & generations in the interview — but this captures the gist. Both sides of my family are implicated in slavery and colonization, is one thing I explore. Link in bio! #ancestortrouble
