\u201cThat was really what I wanted to get at. The relationships that you have with the people who you love\xa0so\xa0much, and who you're\xa0so\xa0close with that you don't have to talk to them all the time.\u201d All of Emma Straub\u2019s novels have big beating hearts, no matter who or what or where or when she\u2019s writing about.\xa0This Time Tomorrow\xa0is her \u201cautobiographical time travel novel\u201d and it\u2019s an absolute delight. Emma joins us on the show to talk about why she writes, giving herself permission to try something new, how she set her rules for time travel (and how she stays grounded), her horrifying teenage diaries, bookselling and much more with Poured Over\u2019s host, Miwa Messer. And we end this episode with TBR Topoff book recommendations from Marc and bookseller guest Becky.
