Christian Livermore

The Los Angeles Review of Books called Christian’s 2022 memoir, We Are Not Okay, ‘ineffably important...relentless and courageous and entertaining and upsetting,’ and Pulitzer Prize-winning author Junot Díaz called it ‘a moving meditation on American precarity.’ Christian is a Pushcart Prize-nominated writer whose debut novel, The Very Special Dead, was published by Meat for Tea Press on October 1, 2023. She is also the author of a short story collection, Girl, Lost and Found (Alien Buddha Press, 2021), and her stories and essays have appeared in anthologies and literary journals including Longreads, Santa Fe Writers Project, Salt Hill Journal and The Texas Review. Her next novel, The Execution of Tertius Lafontaine, is forthcoming from Meat for Tea Press in late 2024/early 2025.
