From the Archives: Mail from Mom

Originally published in Human Parts in 2019

Y’all know I write a lot about my mother (sorry dad—my next book is largely about you so calm down) so I thought I’d share one of my favorite pieces on her. Here is Mail from Mom published by Human Parts in September 2019… and happy Mother’s Day to all who celebrate!

A portion of this piece was originally also published in The New Yorker in March of 2019.

And of course… happy Mother’s Day to LAURIE!!!

Thank you for reading! New posts every Friday!
