On today’s kick-ass encore episode, we have a real treat - Eve’s cousin Jenny talks all about her debut semi-autobiograhical YA novel. Set in 1991 during the AIDS crisis, and revealed through sketches, journal entries & the music we grew up on, hear how sharing her story became an authentic statement about GenX for a younger generation. When we originally recorded this in season 3, the book wsn’t published yet but now it’s OUT! You can buy it or catch her on her book tour! Also check out the Spotify playlist for the book.
Book blurb
Told through sketches, journal entries, and first-person narration, This Terrible True Thing is a semi-autobiographical story of high school senior with a gay dad. Applying to art school, and yearning to escape her conservative boarding school, her world at home is struck by AIDS. Balancing mourning and physics, crushes and paralyzing fear, Danielle must struggle to find the positive in the dark days of the early 90s. In this heartbreaking multimedia debut--filled with drawings, poems, and journal entries--author Jenny Laden draws on her own experience to create a story of grief and transcendence, perfect for fans of Francesca Zappia and Jennifer Niven.
