Kacey Rohl Instagram – My Mama @thereisnothibgwrong wrote a deeply generous, hilarious, wide open, queer as fuck, soul-salving, beautiful beautiful beautiful home run of a book 🧬 Mercy Gene: The Man-Made Making of a Mad Woman 🧬 that’s being released Mar 14th— and launching Mar 16th w/ rad hosts @massyartssociety.
Watching the process of this book coming together over the last few years— not to mention the last 30 years of witnessing my ferocious MotherBrother in their grapplings & spelunkings, both artistic and otherwise— has been the single most soul-charging, lionhearted, bold & audacious things I have ever had the supreme pleasure of witnessing as their Dot. What a mammoth gift to the world this book is. Read it and be forever changed. I know I was— & continue to be with each revisitation. ❤️🔥
If you don’t wanna take my word for it, maybe you’ll follow Titan of Literature & most excellent candidate for imagining yourself as a figment of someone else’s imagination (read the book & get this reference 👀) Miriam Toews who says: “Mercy Gene is an incredible book that lifted me right up off the ground and away to other places both hard and soft. It’s essential reading for anyone wanting to know what the agony of psychic pain is really like, but it’s also very funny. Thank you, thank you to JD for this ferocious, devastating and illuminating, tender and vulnerable, mountain peak and universal embrace of a book and for being in the world. Exquisite.”
Support your local booksellers wherever possible, but get that goodness in your head however you can— like e-mailing your local library to stock it!📚
They’re an incredible human & creator & I am so beyond stoked that this work can be held in the hearts, hands & minds of so many people now. À la folie!
Let’s goooooooooooooo!!! 🤘 | Posted on 08/Mar/2023 01:32:01
