Show Notes

Writer and self-described "British-Appalachian chimera" Leah Hampton joins The Backpack Show with Chris Brogan and Kerry O'Shea Gorgone to talk about her book, "F*ckface and Other Storie." Leah writes about Appalachia, corpses, ecoanxiety, and smart women. https://leahkhampton.com

Her debut collection, "F*ckface and Other Stories," was released by Henry Holt and was named one of the best books of 2020 by The Paris Review, the New York Public Library, Slate, and others. Leah's work explores rurality, heartbreak, honeybee collapse, and illicit sex in post-coal Appalachia. If THAT doesn't make for an interesting conversation, we don't know what will. Don't miss this one!
