Curtis Sittenfeld, ROMANTIC COMEDY

Zibby interviews New York Times bestselling author Curtis Sittenfeld about Romantic Comedy, a hilarious and compelling meta-romance (and Reese's Book Club pick!) about a comedy writer who has sworn off love, the comedy sketch she writes about the phenomenon of ordinary-looking men dating gorgeous female celebrities (and how the opposite just doesn’t happen), and the dreamy pop star that flips the script on all her assumptions. Curtis talks about her love of SNL, how much fun she had researching it, the real-life “dating-up” phenomenon, and the experience of writing mid-pandemic (and incorporating it into the story). She also talks about her impressive twenty-year career, her favorite writer, and the A++ book she read recently.
