Sleeping with a guy people mistake for your brother might sound like a perfect porn. But for me, it led to confusion, crisis, and a cross-country leap into the unknown.
I’ve been a fan of Michael’s writing since college. I think this might be my new favorite essay of his. Definitely looking forward to his upcoming memoir!
Lovely and surprising. Michael has a way of digging in and finding life's precious metals in unlikely places. His style, cranky, testy, selfish, big-hearted and joyous picks you up in the first few words and takes you on a ride you didn't know you needed.
"cranky, testy, and selfish"?! It's called being gay and fabulous, hunny! jk so accurate, love you. And can't wait for your book. Hopefully you can do our Q&A next year and we can promote the shit out of it. <3
Oh my gosh my heart!! This was the best thing to wake up to today. Michael’s candor and warmth is so potent and his writing is so good!! So many good circle backs. Can’t wait for the memoir.
I hope this is just an introduction of what’s to come. I want to hear all about what happens when they return to New York.
Aw thanks, Bob! Shit goes down back in New York, but some of it's good! ;-) Thankful for your reading and writing today.
Michael's adventure is great and I hope he shares more too (but he may be saving that for his book!)

Thanks, Charlotte!! Looking forward to everything you write, always. <3
yes so proud we could feature it. I first read it years ago in workshop and happy the story is reaching so many people at last!

So well-written, sensitive, and sweet. Fantastic writer. And a memoir out soon? Can’t wait.
"Soon" is a relative term! But working on it. Thanks for reading, Carrie!

I'll give you a good circle back. Me to this comment from August! Thanks for reading, Asha <3
Beautiful, funny, poignant essay. I can see the movie version of this love story on the screen! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you, Heather!! Your encouragement means so much! Hopefully, we're lucky enough to feature an essay of yours someday <3
Thanks for the kind words. I totally agree! Michael is a wonderful writer and can't wait for his full memoir to get out soon
