Description
“That was really what I wanted to get at. The relationships that you have with the people who you love so much, and who you're so close with that you don't have to talk to them all the time.” All of Emma Straub’s novels have big beating hearts, no matter who or what or where or when she’s writing about. This Time Tomorrow is her “autobiographical time travel novel” and it’s an absolute delight. Emma joins us on the show to talk about why she writes, giving herself permission to try something new, how she set her rules for time travel (and how she stays grounded), her horrifying teenage diaries, bookselling and much more with Poured Over’s host, Miwa Messer. And we end this episode with TBR Topoff book recommendations from Marc and bookseller guest Becky. Featured Books: This Time Tomorrow by Emma Straub Laura Lamont’s Life in Pictures by Emma Straub The Colossus of New York by Colson Whitehead Desperate Characters by Paula Fox Poured Over is produced and hosted by Miwa Messer and mixed by Harry Liang.
