The Flourishing of Queerness in the American South and Beyond

In this thought-provoking interview, Nick White talks about his relationship with queerness in the American South and now in the Midwest, in relation to his new books. A fiction-writer, White has an incredible facility with creating complex characters, for example in his short story collection, Sweet and Lowdown(2018), and he talks about researching gay conversion therapy for his lacerating critique of the practice in How to Survive a Summer(2017). Funny, compassionate, and moving, this interview with White is a must-hear episode.
