Paul Lisicky has published two memoirs. The Narrow Door (2016) is about the end of two significant relationships in his life, a friendship and a marriage, and the grief that followed. Later (2020) looks back at his time in Provincetown in the 1990s, a period marked by both creative freedom and the ongoing AIDS crisis.
Both memoirs are written in Lisicky’s characteristic lyrical style. They are personal books that use specific experiences to explore larger questions about loss, community, and how people make sense of their lives.
