Christopher P. Brown performs Jonathan Corcoran’s intimate memoir of his relationship with his mother after she discovers he’s gay. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Kendra Winchester discuss this moving listen. Corcoran’s mother dies during the first years of the Covid pandemic, leaving him and his two sisters to handle her affairs. From there, Corcoran takes listeners back through their complex relationship, sharing how his mother’s homophobia has followed him his entire life. Brown beautifully performs both the tense and heartfelt moments and deftly handles the West Virginia accents of Corcoran’s family, making each character unique.
