"Shoshana von Blanckensee didn’t think anyone would ever read “Girls Girls Girls.” The 47-year-old #queer #Jewish #writer and oncology nurse isn’t being self-effacing when she says this to me over Zoom. Realistic would perhaps be a better word.
When she first started writing what would become her debut #novel about 20 years ago, queer #novels mostly didn’t get #published. And if they did, they were smaller releases through independent #publishers. Shoshana worked on “Girls Girls Girls” long enough to see queer novels and voices force their way into the cultural arena and zeitgeist. But even with that shift, Shoshana thought she was just muscling her way through to the end of a #manuscript, finishing the #book for the sake of finishing it.
I cannot begin to express how thrilled I am that she was wrong."
