On today’s Complicated Conversation we are joined by Emma Rosenblum to discuss here frothy beach read murder mystery, Bad Summer People. The novel is set on Fire Island, opens with a dead body, and follows rich people all behaving badly.
We chat with Emma about the importance of her island setting; the dark and funny inspiration she took from shows like Succession and White Lotus; the non-judgemental way she approached her characters; how she nailed the competitive nature of recreational womens’ tennis; the ways being driven has served us; writing from multiple points of view; and Emma’s path to publication and how Covid allowed her the time to make this book a reality.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
