Episode 570: Sloane Crosley
Sloane Crosley is the author of\xa0I Was Told There\u2019d Be Cake\xa0and several other books. Her new memoir is\xa0Grief Is for People.\n\u201cYou take a little sliver of yourself and you offer it up to be spun around in perpetuity in the public imagination. That is the sacrifice you make. And it makes everything just a little bit worse. So it's the opposite of catharsis, but it's worth it. It's worth it for what you get in return: a book.\u201d\nShow notes:\n\nsloanecrosley.com\n\n@askanyone\n\nLongform Podcast #343: Sloane Crosley\n\n01:00\xa0Grief Is for People\xa0(MCD \u2022 2024)\n\n14:00\xa0Heartburn\xa0(Nora Ephron \u2022 Vintage \u2022 1996)\n\n25:00\xa0"Patchett: In Bad Relationships, 'There Comes A Day When You Gotta Go.'"\xa0(Fresh Air with Terry Gross \u2022 WHYY \u2022 Jan 2014)\n\n25:00\xa0Joan Didion on\xa0Fresh Air with Terry Gross\n\n\n25:00\xa0"Long COVID, Chronic Illness & Searching For Answers"\xa0(Fresh Air with Terry Gross \u2022 WHYY \u2022 Feb 2022)\n\n32:00\xa0"Obituary: Russell Perreault, V-P at Vintage Anchor, 52"\xa0(Rachel Deahl \u2022 Publishers Weekly \u2022 Jul 2019)\n\n37:00\xa0The Clasp\xa0(Picador \u2022 2016)\n\n49:00\xa0How Did You Get This Number\xa0(Riverhead Books \u2022 2011)\n\n51:00\xa0"Five O\u2019Clock Somewhere"\xa0(Gary Indiana \u2022 Granta \u2022 Feb 2024)\n\n\nLearn more about your ad choices.
