Episode Sixty-Two: Kaitlyn Greenidge
In This Episode:
Just before winning a Whiting Award, Kaitlyn Greenidge brought her debut novel We Love You, Charlie Freeman to the Damn Library with Sarah Waters's Tipping the Velvet in tow. Over rather long-named drinks, she discussed the politics, nostalgia, and joys of both - and the guys take a moment to mourn Charlie Freeman's first round knockout in the #ToB17.
Other Highlights:
* "Sexykins" - a word which here means "Sexy Dickens"
* 90s nostalgia. It's time.
* one more exhortation to buy a t-shirt, before they're gone forever
* #ToB17 talk: THE DEAD COME BACK TO LIFE!
