"It’s scary—sometimes I feel like I stared into the void for too long and I wish I could unknow certain things—but being informed is always better." @stephenpatrickbell.bsky.social talks with @gabriellekorn.bsky.social about her new novel "The Shutouts"

Gabrielle Korn makes every conversation, even ones about doom, feel cozy. Her well-researched novel fills the end of the world with the warmth and joy of queer family and community.
