Grant Gipe is the author of 8-Track Boy, a literary coming-of-age novel set at Oak Wood Academy, a Southern boarding school during the 1978–79 school year.

Blending literary fiction with Southern Gothic atmosphere and psychologically immersive prose, his work explores memory, identity, power, grief, and the emotional aftermath of adolescence. Through the experiences of Ryan Woods and the people who shape his first year at Oak Wood, 8-Track Boy examines how meaning is often found long after events have passed.

Although 8-Track Boy is his debut novel, its emotional and thematic foundations developed over many years through an enduring interest in memory, perception, and the stories people tell themselves about the past.

Grant lives in Barcelona.
