Lambda Literary interviews Corinne Manning
Lambda Literary interviews Corinne Manning about their stellar debut story collection We Had No Rules: "I had a very deliberate process for this book. I gave myself the constraint to write each story from beginning to end in one sitting. If something scared me, or if I had some preconceived notion that something was 'too gay,' I had to write it. I was trying to write myself out of my internalized homophobia. I loved leaving the stories open-ended, without the frame of an MFA concept of “story.: It was THRILLING to decide that a given story ends here because my heart says it is so."
We Had No Rules has received two high-profile starred reviews, from Publishers Weekly ("Manning's debut collection exquisitely examines queer relationships with equal parts humor, heartache, and titillation") and Booklist ("Wistful, funny, angry, bitter, raw - Manning both shocks and enthralls"). And Lambda Literary called the book "an intimate, rebellious and often hilarious exploration of queer life in the U. S. in the 21st century."
