Summary: On this episode of The Lit Show, Jeremy Jackson discusses his memoir I Will Not Leave You Comfortless, a story of the eleventh year of his life, which brought Jackson his first love, the loss of his grandmother, and his sister’s departure for college—seemingly ordinary events that erode his innocence in a way that will never be fully repaired. Jeremy Jackson is the author of two novels, Life at These Speeds and In Summer. A graduate of Vassar College and the Iowa Writers’ Workshop, Jackson lives in Iowa City with his wife and two daughters.
