Medaya Ocher and Eric Newman speak with writer Grace Byron about her debut novel, Herculine. Set between the freelance rat race of New York and an equally cutthroat commune for trans women in rural Indiana, Herculine follows a narrator trying to put her life together. Featuring demons, conversion therapy, and blood rites, the novel is part horror part coming-of-age tale. Byron discusses how the book emerged from a memoir project, as well as the joys and struggles of making community and a life as a trans woman. Byron is also a critic and essayist, whose work has appeared in the New Yorker, New York Magazine, Los Angeles Review of Books, The Nation and other publications.
