Episode 331 — Atticus Lish
Published 11 years, 6 months ago
Description
Atticus Lish is the guest. His debut novel, Preparation for the Next Life, is available now from Tyrant Books. It is the official November selection of The Nervous Breakdown Book Club. The New York Times calls it “Perhaps the finest and most unsentimental love story of the new decade.” And Joy Williams says "So much of American fiction has become playful, cynical and evasive. Preparation for the Next Life is the strong antidote to such inconsequentialities. Powerfully realistic, with a solemn, muscular lyricism, this is a very, very good book." Monologue topics: TNB Book Club, mail, transcribing this podcast, Dear Sugar, advice.
