Curtis Sittenfeld on ROMANTIC COMEDY

Published: April 13, 2023, 10 a.m.

\u201cI can even still have my festively neurotic characters, but they can be working their way toward a happy ending, instead of working their way towards crushing disappointment.\u201d\xa0

Curtis Sittenfeld\u2019s Romantic Comedy is a playful, smart and fizzy look at love and pop culture through the eyes of a charming and relatable late-night TV writer. Sittenfeld joins us to talk about how a good novel feels like eavesdropping, what makes a character likable, surprising literary influences and more with Poured Over host Miwa Messer. And we end this episode with TBR Topoff book recommendations from Marc and Madyson.\xa0

This episode of Poured Over was hosted by Executive Producer Miwa Messer and mixed by Harry Liang.\u202f\u202f
