How to Write an Autobiographical Novel: Essays by Alexander Chee

challenging emotional sad slow-paced

5.0

One of my favorite collections of essays, I finished this book in November of 2019 and now, nearing the end of 2021, I still think about it a few times a month. In some ways the intimacy of the voice and topic almost satisfies my yearning for real-life queer elders. At the very least, when paired with The Year of Magical Thinking, it's given me a starting framework for how to mourn over the past two years.
