Fun talking to Bud Smith- and a brief chat with the amazing Jessica Anya Blau and being introduced to Chuck Howe. And some Meg Tuite love too! All tuesdays should be this fun. And thanks to Jen Michalski for introducing me to Bud!

Mention on the Melville House Blog

Super pleased to be mentioned alongside Claire Messud about the "likability" of character over at the Melville House Blog, MobyLives. I think this is an important discussion, one I've had during many interviews- the one at Full Stop mentioned here, as well as with Emily Gould at Emily Books- and well, many other places.
