One of my strongest hopes in writing Ancestor Trouble was that it might help some people feel less marooned with their own ancestor troubles. So you can imagine how touched and floored I was to find the book listed in The Atlantic by Tajja Isen—a writer and editor I deeply admire—as one of “Six Books That Will Make You You Feel Less Alone,” alongside great books like Saeed Jones’ Alive at the End of the World and others I need to read.
My summer editorial offerings focus on my greatest strength and interest: working with fellow writers who are reckoning with their own troubled family histories.
My year in reading. Ancestor Trouble’s best of 2022 mentions. The solstice and The Work of Hope.
