This is Inside the New York Times Booker View. I'm Pamela Paul.

Remember when you were a kid in an awkward phase and people would say,

you'll grow out of it? That's the title of comedian Jesse Klein's new book of essays.

I really like the freedom of just starting with one topic, rambling along,

maybe having a glass of wine, as I'm writing, getting a little bit drunk.

Another thought comes along.

What's the new tell-all that's making Silicon Valley actually look up from its collective laptops?

Antonio Garcia Martinez, a former finance guy, turned start-up chief,

is here to talk about his book, Chaos Monkeys.

Every plague that afflicts early-stage startups we had couldn't raise money,

co-founder issues. We got sued by a pre-sumplorer, which is a massive crisis,

because we had no money.

Plus, literary news and the books we at the Booker View and other people are reading this week.

The New York Times wants to hear your thoughts on podcasts.

This one and any others you listen to.
