Not yet thirty years old, the Irish novelist Sally Rooney has quickly amassed an international following. In \u201cConversations with Friends\u201d and \u201cNormal People\u201d, Rooney\u2019s nuanced depictions of complex characters confront structures of intimacy, friendship, and class. On February 12, 2020, Sally Rooney and fellow writer Heidi Julavits had a conversation - originally scheduled before an audience at the Sydney Goldstein Theater in January, but postponed due to Rooney\u2019s illness, the program was recorded in a New York studio.
