Episode 270 — Justin Hocking

Justin Hocking is the guest. His new memoir, The Great Floodgates of the Wonderworld, is now available from Graywolf Press. It is the official April selection of the TNB Book Club. Cheryl Strayed says "As generous as it is smart, as intimate as it is grand, as illuminating as it is dark. With grace and guts, Justin Hocking dares to go where few men have gone before: not only out to sea, but also into the depths of the human heart." And Junot Díaz says “This beautiful memoir is beyond cool. A voyage both erudite and affecting.” Monologue topics: TNB Book Club, mail, miscarriage, fatherhood, privilege, sadsploitation.
