Join us Saturday, January 24th for our next installment of the NW Authors Series with author Zoë Bossiere. This event will also be livestreamed to Facebook and books will be available for signing and purchase.
“Cactus Country: A Boyhood Memoir” is a critically acclaimed memoir that explores themes of gender fluidity, class, and survival, set against a harsh yet beautiful landscape. The book chronicles Bossiere’s experience with gender and identity, as they learn to navigate hard masculinity, substance abuse, violence, and the desert itself.
Described as equal parts harsh and tender, engaging and bracing, “Cactus Country” was named one of the Best Memoirs of the Year by Esquire, one of the Best Books of the Year by Shelf Awareness, and a Southwest Book of the Year.
Zoë Bossiere is a writer, teacher, and editor of Brevity: A Journal of Concise Literary Nonfiction and co-editor of the anthologies The Best of Brevity and The Lyric Essay as Resistance: Truth from the Margins. Zoë lives in Cannon Beach. Find them online at zoebossiere.com
