I have ✨news✨
In THE PALACE OF EROS, I have written into genderqueerness, and the longing to live free and whole outside the box of patriarchy, like never before. I've taken risks. I'm stunned and amazed and thrilled this book has found U.S. and UK homes. 😮😭🥳
Good people: I’m outta here. This account will be up, but if you’d like to stay connected, find me on BlueSky at @caroderobertis.bsky.social or on Instagram at @caro_derobertis. Meanwhile, here's a cover reveal for SO MANY STARS, which drops 5/13/2025. WE WILL CONTINUE💙🏳️⚧️🌟
To fight for and love a country that despises you… that finds joy and elation in your suffering is truly a different kind of pain. It is mourning in America. A new world order begins. 🙏🏾
so excited to read this trans/gender-fluid reimagining of the myth of psyche and eros by @caroderobertis
interview with the author and @ElectricLit here:

New York—I’m headed your way & will be in conversation with two of the most luminous writers around, @acruzwriter at @Center4Fiction tomorrow & Jaquira Díaz at @WordUpBooks, Thursday 🌟 would love to see you
Oh @BoroughPress you absolute wonders! Thank you for sending me a copy of #thepalaceoferos by @caroderobertis
I have been wanting a mythology fix and so this is just what I need!
This beauty is out now!
I was thrilled to talk with the one & only @jenstjude about transforming ancient myths, the contributions trans & queer folks make to masculinity, writing the erotic, what it means to be "unruly and immense," and so much more.
HAPPY BUTCH APPRECIATION DAY ✨🙌🏼 butches are amazing, always.
In celebration, here’s an excerpt of my @ElectricLit shout out to butches, and a glimpse of me with Parnaz Foroutan at @skylightbooks on Friday night just bursting with butch joy
The brilliant @juliandlopera & I chopped it up about trans histories, phallic energy, queer sex as a power source, & more.
"Caro’s prose is magnificent, it incorporates language for a gender expansive body into a myth that is 2000 years old and makes it look easy." 😯🙏🏼🏳️⚧️
