Describe your latest book.
My new book of essays is called
We Are Never Meeting in Real Life. It’s basically a collection of strung-together swear words that turned out pretty funny. It chronicles the last several years of my life, with bits from the past and a little nod to the future.
What was your favorite book as a child?
Pet Sematary. Or maybe
Misery. I was a pretty intense kid and Stephen King is a really good storyteller, so I spent a lot of my young life absorbed in his books. I really like a lot of details and descriptions, like, tell me exactly how frayed her shirt was and list every single thing on the kitchen table, and he writes like that. Also he is a prolific writer and churns out 500+ page books; every time you finish one he’s got another bullet in the chamber, ready to blow your minds again...
