      Finding a Place in Oral History

      Feb 2, 2023

      With my first book, Heavy, I wanted to capture Rock Springs, the Wyoming boomtown where I grew up, in all of its grit and glory. Not long after Heavy came out, however, I began to feel like I’d only scratched the surface of the place. The realization

      Christos Tsiolkas: ‘I Don’t Understand Wanting To Live A Youthful Life Forever’
