Ep 372: Kosoko Jackson Champions Representation in Rom-Coms and YA
Jeff reviews the young adult thriller “Survive the Dome” by Kosoko Jackson. Jeff then interviews Kosoko about both Survive the Dome, and his rom-com “I’m So (Not) Over You,” which is also the Spring Big Gay Fiction Book Club selection.
Kosoko talks about his favorite rom-coms, why he decided to write one, and the ways the characters and story changed in the early drafts. He also shares the real life events that inspired “Survive the Dome,” and what it was like to work on two very different books at the same time. In addition, he discusses the representation of black and brown queer characters that he brings to his stories. Plus, Kosoko offers book recommendations and a glimpse of what he’s working on next.
