My guest today is the bestselling author Emma Straub. Her books include 'This Time Tomorrow,' 'Modern Lovers,' 'The Vacationers,' and more. And with her husband, Michael Fusco, she co-owns the beautiful Brooklyn bookstore Books Are Magic. I'm so thrilled to have her on because, not only is she a wonderful writer, but Key Change is a series about music fandom and identity. And Emma's newest novel 'American Fantasy' is also about music fandom and identity.
Highlighted moments
What I found most exciting was that Stephen's lyrics, they are brilliant. And there are so many jokes, punctuation jokes, English language jokes.
“I didn't listen to anything funny, you know? Like, how often is good music funny?”
“he's not just writing jokes. He's writing heartbreak and making it funny.”
“most people don't understand that all we're doing right now is running a really big merch booth.”
