Description

On today’s Complicated Conversation, we welcome internationally bestselling author  Lucy Clarke to discuss The Hike, her propulsive new thriller about four women who go on a hiking trip into the Norwegian wilderness — but not all of them will return.
We chat with Lucy about her development of the complex women at the heart of this story, their individual struggles and their very real and sometimes messy friendship. We also loved hearing about how Lucy has managed to bring together her two passions — writing and travel — in her bestselling destination thrillers and what her explorations have taught her about herself. Lucy has been dubbed an adaptation sensation so of course we discussed what it’s like for her to see her stories have a second life on the screen.
The Hike is out now in the US! But it, read it, share it, and listen to our spoiler-free chat with Lucy wherever you get your podcasts! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In Pop Fiction Women we deep-dive into the complicated women of books, movies and TV shows, along with the women that bring them to life behind the scenes. Think Fleabag and Phoebe Waller Bridge, Normal People and Sally Rooney, and so much more. In each episode you can expect us to: * Break down the protagonist as we ask what makes her complicated? * Identify the best scenes, which can mean sweetest, funniest, or most badass. Anything we love. * Recount the cringiest scenes. The ones that make you squirm. Sometimes it’s self-sabotage, sometimes it’s growth, but it’s always part of the process of becoming our complicated selves. * Play arm-chair therapist in What’s Your Damage, Heather? An homage to the iconic line in Winona Rider’s Heathers, we discuss how these characters got to be the way they are. * “What She Said” - the segment where we scour every essay and interview with the women behind the scenes and share some of our favorite first person quotes. Real life is as interesting as fiction here. * Look into our crystal ball and ponder where these characters are six months later and five years later. Typically, Kate gets very real and Carinn gets buck wild. * Provide a takeaway, aka that part in the podcast where we try to sound deep. We leave you with some parting wisdom, challenge each other with thought-provoking questions inspired by the work, and urge you to “stay complicated.”
