Episode 184 — Julie Sarkissian

Julie Sarkissian is the guest. Her debut novel, Dear Lucy, is now available from Simon & Schuster. Joyce Carol Oates says "Dear Lucy introduces a young writer with a most original voice and a tenderly eccentric vision.  Julie Sarkissian has created a boldly lyrical, suspenseful, and mysterious fictional world in this striking debut novel." And Ron Rash raves "In Dear Lucy, Julie Sarkissian has accomplished what many veteran novelists never achieve: a startlingly original work that is also profound and wise in the vagaries of the heart. What an amazing debut." Monologue topics: mail, listener reactions to the Tao Lin episodes, Alt-Lit. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
