This feels so frivolous for my first comment after years of reading your writing, but I can’t help myself. I laughed out loud and my brain completely derailed when you started talking sexy and Michael Chabon. I was already in love with his writing and then I had the terror and delight of spending an entire day with him when he visited my college right around when Kavalier and Clay was published. He was so lovely and generous (and gorgeous) that if I didn’t think he was dead sexy before then I certainly did after. All of a sudden I’m 19 again, in the best way.

I was unfamiliar with Emma Straub or her books. Loved this conversation. I look forward to some new reading material courtesy of Emma.
Ah, I love Emma! I'm so happy to read your conversation.
Thank you for this conversation! I loved it very much.
