Before Patricia Highsmith was a great American author, she wrote comic books, which she hated. She was also a prolific womanizer but put herself through gay conversion therapy. Somehow this led her to write a world-changing work of lesbian fiction, "Carol" abramsbooks.com/product/flun…

"Diana and the Hero's Journey" is my new book, and it's out October 4! I don't say this lightly: This book is very close to Lumberjanes in tone, so if you like Lumberjanes, you'll love this one. Preorder from this local store to get a signed copy! gramercybooksbexley.com/book…

If you haven't read Flung Out of Space yet, I hope this is a reminder to pick it up! It's a unique and wonderful story about a unique and terrible person, and I hope this award shines a path forward for more fallible characters, particularly fallible women.

This is so masterful, absolutely one of the most riveting things I've seen in a long time. Highly recommended for anyone interested in character examinations and in artistic meta layers. Excellent work from everyone involved, wow nytimes.com/2023/06/06/opini…

If you're an Eisner voter, I hope you'll consider voting for "Flung Out of Space." These two categories are absolutely stacked (like I said: humbled), but I do hope that "Flung Out of Space" resonates with you and would be honored if you considered voting for it!

My new play "Explicit Content for Teens" is going out into the world today! This show has it all: an audience vote between two endings, a fictional play-within-a-play about a 1950s party, and a real folk song with lyrics that will make you say "is THAT what that song is about??"

Impeccable timing on this article: If the question of what content is appropriate for high schoolers to stage is one you're interested in (like "Explicit Content for Teens" is interested in it), this is a great primer on the state of affairs wapo.st/3LNU8rG

“Most of the kids, though, their response to being told they couldn’t look at something was to seek it out and find a way to experience it. So, the question becomes ... how do you collectively decide what is appropriate for kids? And should you?” matternews.org/culture/grace…
