Introduction

Our guest is poet, podcaster, and novelist Melissa Broder. Broder’s sardonic humor and genuine vulnerability have garnered a loyal following through her twitter persona @sosadtoday - as well as her novel “The Pisces”, a story of a woman fleeing heartbreak and a failed dissertation, finding comfort and passion in a love affair with a merman.  On December 11, 2019, Melissa Broder came to the Sydney Goldstein Theater in San Francisco to perform a live episode of her podcast “Eating Alone in My Car.”
