Henry Hoke and Jackson Howard on OPEN THROAT

Published: June 29, 2023, 10 a.m.

\u201cI didn't want to get sick of my work \u2026 let's write something that I'm going to enjoy.\u201d

Open Throat by Henry Hoke is a novel unlike any other. This propulsive and vulnerable story reflects humanity from the perspective of a queer mountain lion living under the Hollywood sign. Hoke and his editor, Jackson Howard, join to talk about the process of writing this book, the canon of queer literature, the setting of LA and more with Miwa Messer, host of Poured Over.

This episode of Poured Over was hosted by Miwa Messer and mixed by Harry Liang.\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f
