Episode notes

Sarah Lawrence was the writer and residence at Vassar and Pratt before I believe her most recent post at Bard College. She's written for the Paris Review, Electric Literature. It's written for children's books. What is she written? Are any of them about like divorce and motherhood and stuff? Is they about different subject matter? Sounds like speculation on your part.

When a book's plot and characters don't break a ton of ground in and of themselves, you're left hoping that the writing and the perspective will be enough to make a book interesting—luckily for us, Jenny Offill's Dept. of Speculation is insightful and entertaining despite its narrow scope and well-trod material.
