SINK by Joseph Earl Thomas
SINK by Joseph Earl Thomas was selected as a most-anticipated book of 2023 by Yahoo News, Goodreads (“So-called geek culture has saved a lot of lives over the years by providing a home for those who were denied a place elsewhere. Author Joseph Earl Thomas makes a strong case for just how literally this life-saving aspect can be. Abused and neglected as a child, Thomas tells his story in this highly acclaimed memoir, which won the 2020 Chautauqua Janus Prize. Geek love is strong”), SheReads (“[SINK] explores poverty, loneliness, toxic masculinity and much more. Kiese Laymon calls Sink ‘brilliant and brilliantly different,’ which is enough for me”), and Debutiful (“A fearless debut that will change your life. I read this in one sitting and it moved me in ways I couldn’t imagine. Thomas moves through brutal moments and uplifting ones with grace. It is a memoir that should be taught in writing classes from now until the end of time”). Grand Central Publishing will publish the memoir on February 21, 2023.
