Description

We're back! And we can think of no better way to get the new series underway than this conversation with the brilliant Andrew Sean Greer. Andrew is the author of the Pulitzer Prize winning Less (a massive favourite at You're Booked Towers) and has just released a sequel, Less is Lost, which is equally hilarious, moving and thoroughly addictive. He has won numerous awards for his fiction and has contributed to The New Yorker, Esquire and The Paris Review. We talked to Andrew about the genius of Sondheim, Proustian moments, aunts in PG Wodehouse and owning Armistead Maupin's athletic equipment.

Welcome to You’re Booked, the podcast for literary nosy parkers who would like the chance to snoop around their favourite authors’ bookshelves.I’m Daisy Buchanan, your Book Inspector, and I’ll be asking our guests all about the first forbidden books they read under the covers, the beloved books they have borrowed, and never given back, and those impressive heavyweight hardbacks that make them look like intellectual giants – even though they couldn’t get beyond the first twenty pages.We’ll also be talking about what makes readers into writers, how our guests became book lovers and their favourite reading memories, all with a dash of intelligence and a dollop of irreverence. Our guests include Dolly Alderton, Nina Stibbe, Nikesh Shukla, and many more favourites from our own bookshelves. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
