Hey, everybody. This episode of other people is brought to you by TNB Books, the official independent press of the Nervous Breakdown.com. Please be sure to check out its latest title, The Beautiful Anthology, edited by Elizabeth Collins, who is my guest on episode 84 of this program.

and combines it with the intimate materials of his or her life to make something lovely and new.
