Overview
- The Sane One, Anna Konkle’s memoir, is available now.
- The book centers on her relationship with her father, covering estrangement, a later reconciliation, and his death.
- Konkle says it extends themes from Pen15 and needed a book to carry darker, more experimental writing.
- She shared chapters with relatives for accuracy and consent, noting broad support and her late father’s advice to “write it all.”
- Becoming a mother in 2021 shaped her feelings about revisiting the past as she finished the manuscript.
