Yes Daddy! A Queer Summer Thriller with Jonathan Parks-Ramage

13 June 202655 min

To celebrate Yes, Daddy's five-year anniversary, I thought it would be exciting to re-release my conversation with author Jonathan Parks-Ramage! This queer male summer thriller of a novel will not easily leave your mind, and if you happen to find yourself in the Hamptons, you'll be questioning any handsome older man near you.

At the center of the novel is Jonah Keller, an aspiring playwright who turns to Richard Shriver, a Pulitzer Prize winning playwright, for mentorship and guidance. However, Richard's mentorship quickly turns romantic and passionate, but Jonah soon realizes that not all is as it seems in Richard's lush embrace. Jonah heads out to Richard's idyllic sprawling Hamptons estate, and he soon is being preyed on by gay men in Richard's circle. During the interview we explore the topics of social class, power dynamics, whether the #MeToo movement accounts for queer male abuse, and religious trauma.
