Summary
"I don't think I could be accused of identifying a marketplace. Otherwise, I wouldn't have written about Abraham Lincoln and vampires and how to eat blueberries and save your life." Zibby is joined by New York Times bestselling essayist, columnist, and novelist Sloane Crosley to discuss her romantic comedy thriller, Cult Classic. The two talk about the kinds of conversations they have on book tours, when Sloane knew she was ready to write a rom-com set in New York City, and how she became a literary it-girl. Sloane also shares the life experiences that served as inspiration for her next nonfiction project about grief and why she views it as the sibling to Cult Classic.
