Levy 2020 Final
Shawn Levy is back on the podcast. Every time he\u2019s got a new book out, he\u2019s kind enough to stop by and talk to us about it. \nLast tine it was his book of poems based on New York Times obituaries. Before that his best seller on Chateau Marmont. And before that Dolce Vita Confidential.\nThis one is called \u201cIn on the Joke.\u201d It\u2019s about female comedians, not today\u2019s but the first female standups, from Moms Mabley to Joan Rivers, including Phyllis Diller, Elaine May and many others.\nWe\u2019ll find out what joke they were in on and discover the real people behind the public personalities.\nHe\u2019ll be reading at Powell\u2019s City of Books in Portland on Wednesday, April 6.\nIt\u2019s always a joy to have Shawn visit the podcast.
