Alison Espach on NOTES ON YOUR SUDDEN DISAPPEARANCE
\u201cFor me, part of the fun of coming-of-age novels, both reading and writing, is getting to have that adult perspective on these youthful moments and kind of allow you to make sense of them in a way you couldn't before; it can allow you to forgive yourself for some of the things maybe you did, it can allow you to laugh at some of the things that horrified you, and that can bring peace and joy and resolution.\u201d It\u2019s been a minute since Alison Espach\u2019s debut novel The Adults \u2014 she joins us on the show to talk about\xa0the inspiration behind her new novel,\xa0Notes on Your Sudden Disappearance, writing love stories, sitting with grief, her obsession with the passage of time in life and in books, Lorrie Moore\u2019s\xa0Self-Help,\xa0and much more with Poured Over\u2019s Host, Miwa Messer. And we end the show with TBR Topoff book recommendations from Margie and Marc.
