While she’s currently working on a new novel, you can tide yourself over with her most recent short story, about lesbians and parrots, published in Oprah Magazine this April. Her essays and fiction have been featured on Lit Hub, The Rumpus, Catapult, and many other outlets. Her lesbian taxidermy novel, Mostly Dead Things, came out in 2019 to glowing reviews.
If you aren’t reading Kristen Arnett in any capacity - her fiction, her essays, even her tweets - you should probably change that immediately.
