Growing up in Corbin, Kentucky, author Michael Croley said he was immersed in a predominantly white, male culture.
He spent many weekends hunting and fishing in the mountains with his father, uncles and cousins. And he excelled in sports, distinguishing himself as a varsity athlete in high school.
At the same time, he would eat bulgogi, kimchi and egg rolls at home. And he was often on guard, waiting for a racial slur to be hurled his way.
The son of a Korean American mother and white, Appalachian father, Croley has been shaped by a unique combination of cultures. He has explored this reality through essays for publications including The Paris Review Daily, and his 2019 short story collection, “Any Other Place: Stories.”
