This wry quip on what it means to be queer fifty years after Stonewall hooked me instantly in Mariko Tamaki and Rosemary Valero-O’Connell’s Laura Dean Keeps Breaking Up with Me. “I’m aware that I should be grateful that I have the ability to get broken up with and publicly humiliated the same as my hetero friends,” seventeen-year-old Freddy Riley writes to online advice columnist Anna Vice, “I am progress.” In the following interview, Jane Shi asks her about her influences, the importance of intergenerational conversations in the queer community, and tips she would give to new and likeminded creators. Mariko Tamaki will be coming to the Vancouver Writers Fest to talk love, do improv, and offer insights on the graphic novel-writing process.
