239: Jeanne Thornton (A/S/L) & Anton Solomonik's REALISTIC FICTION
In This Episode:
Jeanne Thornton physically drops by the Damn Library to talk A/S/L, her incredible novel about amateur video game coders in the 90s and how they’re doing a couple decades years later, and also a bit of her novel Summer Fun as well, because why not. Plus, she brings along Anton Solomonik’s Realistic Fiction, an excitingly strange and very funny short story collection.
