Sloane Crosley on CULT CLASSIC
Podcast: Poured OverPublished On: Thu Jun 16 2022
Description: "...A part of the point of the book was to not shy away from what we shy away from in real life. And one of the things we shy away from in real life is admitting for exactly how long we are a mess and don't know what we're doing." From her classic essay collections, including I Was Told There Would Be Cake through her last bestselling novel, The Clasp, Sloane Crosley keeps us entertained with her trademark wit, voice and gimlet eye. Her latest, the genre-busting new novel, Cult Classic, is gobs of fun and utterly original, and Sloane joins us on the show to talk about love and relationships and finding our sense of self, the fantasy of consistency, aiming through the wood and at the chopping block, having the same editor (or therapist) for 14 years, her literary influences, and much more with Poured Over's host, Miwa Messer. Featured Books: Cult Classic by Sloane Crosley The Clasp by Sloane Crosley The Love Affairs of Nathaniel P. by Adelle Waldman Loitering with Intent by Muriel Spark Pitch Dark by Renata Adler The Flamethrowers by Rachel Kushner Poured Over is produced and hosted by Miwa Messer and mixed by Harry Liang.
