Make it Gay! - Mississippi

Make It Gay! is a series that celebrates queer stories and authors in different genres. This week Lauren is joined by University of Mississippi's Pip Gordon to explore Mississippi's queer literary legacy.

Philip "Pip" Gordon was born in Memphis, Tennessee, and grew up just north of Faulkner's Yoknapatawpha County. Pip is a Visiting Assistant Professor of Gender Studies at the University of Mississippi, and the author of "Gay Faulkner: Uncovering a Homosexual Presence in Yoknapatawpha and Beyond" (bookshop.org)(libro.fm).

Most recently, Pip Gordon worked to preserve Mississippi author Hubert Creekmore's work, The Welcome (bookshop.org).
