A lovely nod
Last year I contributed to the anthology, Girls Who Like Boys Who Like Boys. (See previous post with excerpt.) Above is the cover for the paperback edition, coming out later this month.
I recently found out that Tom Cardamone wrote a review published in the March 2008 issue of Open Letters Monthly. (Okay, the review is three months old but I just found out about it, so it’s new to me.)
Here’s what Cardamone said about my piece, “Like Father, Like Daughter”:
The closing section, “Fathers and Daughters, Mothers and Sons” showcases a great batch of writing. Abigail Garner, author of “Families Like Mine: Children of Gay Parents Tell It Like It Is,” writes as a daughter with two gay dads. She looks at the world with queer eyes and sees for miles – or at least past the constant prejudices her family faces and towards a pair of hot joggers.
“Sees for miles.” That’s among the highest compliments I’ve received about my writing. And that it’s from a gay writer…well, that makes my heart sing.
