Happy Pride Month! This week on TALK by Turner, we're joined by award-winning novelist and short story writer, Jen Michalski. Following the release of her new novel, “All This Can Be True,” we’re sitting down with Jen to discuss what it means to be a part of the LGBTQ+ community in modern America. In this conversation, Jen dives into important topics such as LGBTQ+ representation in media, queer joy, and what it means to be an ally. We’re also looking at all of the biggest headlines, from the fallout of corporate Pride partnerships to anti-LGBTQ legislation.
Jen Michalski is the author of three novels, three short story collections, and a couplet of novellas. Her latest collection of fiction, "The Company of Strangers,” was an Electric Literature's "Small Press Books You Should Be Reading This Summer" and a 2023 Baltimore Magazine's Best of Baltimore winner. Her last novel, “You'll Be Fine,” was a 2021 Buzzfeed "Best Small Press Book," a 2022 Next Generation Indie Book Awards Finalist, and was selected as one of the "Best Books We Read This Year" by the Independent Press Review. She's the editor of the weekly online literary magazine jmww and currently lives in Southern California, although she will always be a Baltimore girl at heart.
