We are excited to announce that Claire Phillips was invited to contribute to the Largehearted Boy Book Notes series, which has featured writers such as Jesmyn Ward, Lauren Groff, Bret Easton Ellis, Celeste Ng, T.C. Boyle, Dana Spiotta, Amy Bloom, Aimee Bender, and Roxane Gay. Read Claire’s playlist and get a flavor for her book, its time period, and her brilliant though chronically ill mother.

An inventively told and wholly original memoir.
–David Gutowski, Largehearted Boy
