Author

Tess Gunty publishes her first novel to favorable reviews.

“My Mom’s mom grew up next door to Colonel Sanders in Kentucky.”

“It was deeply personal for me because the political divide was what ripped my marriage apart.”

Afrofuturist author. Community builder. Nerd.

“How do you follow something like Slaughterhouse-Five? It can’t be done.”

“I don’t read many of my reviews. I have anxiety issues, so even reading a pleasant review fills me with existential dread.”

“There were people standing and clapping for us as well as booing, so I felt a range of emotions. One thing I realized: We’re at a new level now.”

Pain, love, mistakes, obsession, the human condition. Plus, heart-rending information about disappearing bird habitats and species.

“I learned how story was always meant to be for Indian women: Immediate, necessary and fearless, like all good lies.”

There’s No Such Thing as Bad Weather is a deeply personal argument against the current trends of “helicopter parenting” and the “professionalization of childhood.”
