Summary

This is part 2 of my conversation with Nada Alic, author of Bad Thoughts. As you'll hear, she's one of those rare people who are as cool as they seem online, yet also so warm, inviting, and genuinely kind. In this second half of the conversation, we take questions from some mutual friends, and she talks about her somewhat secret 3:00 ritual, relationships, friendship, novel research wormholes, and more.⁠ In this first half we cover everything from our first communions and lingering Catholic guilt to thresholds and an archetype, called a “Puella” to how she ended up in LA to how she started writing and routines that help her continue to, cancel culture, disembodiment, and much more.
