    Writers & Lovers

    BOOK SUMMARY A novel of art, love, and ambition and an unforgettable portrait of an artist as a young woman—from Lily King, the New York Times bestselling author of Euphoria. Blindsided by her mother’s sudden death, and wrecked by a recent love affair, Casey Peabody has arrived in Massachusetts in the summer of 1997 without a plan. Her mail consists of wedding invitations and final notices from debt collectors. A former child golf prodigy, she now waits tables in Harvard Square and rents a tiny, moldy room at the side of a garage where she works on the novel she’s been writing for six years. At thirty-one, Casey is still clutching onto something nearly all her old friends have let go of: the determination to live a creative life. When she falls for two very different men at the same time, her world fractures even more. Casey’s fight to fulfill her creative ambitions and balance the conflicting demands of art and life is challenged in ways that push her to the brink. Writers & Lovers follows Casey—a smart and achingly vulnerable protagonist—in the last days of a long youth, a time when every element of her life comes to a crisis. Written with King’s trademark humor, heart, and intelligence, Writers & Lovers is a transfixing novel that explores the terrifying and exhilarating leap between the end of one phase of life and the beginning of another. Writers & Lovers LILY KING WHAT THE REVIEWERS SAY RAVE: ELIZABETH EGAN, THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW Even with a handful of compelling plots in the air, King is at her wisest and most self- assured when she shows how Casey gradually gets her bearings as a motherless daughter: one step forward, two steps back.

    Fully Written Transcript

    Layla Saad: I'm Layla Saad and my life is driven by one burning question. How can I become a good ancestor? How can I create a legacy of healing and liberation? For those who are here in this lifetime? And those who will come after I'm gone? In my pursuit to answer this question, I'm interviewing changemakers and culture shapers, who are also exploring that question for themselves in the way that they live and lead their life. It's my intention that these conversations will help you find your own answers to that question too. Welcome to Good Ancestor Podcast. Welcome, good ancestors. Today I'm speaking with the American novelist of one of my favorite fiction books of 2020. Kylie Reid. Kylie is a graduate of the Iowa Writers Workshop, where she was the recipient of the Truman Capote fellowship. She's the author of The New York Times bestseller, Such A Fun Age, which explores the relationship between a young black babysitter and her well intentioned white employer. If you're anything like me, you'll find yourself laughing, cringing, crying, and cheering when reading her book, as it explores racism in the awkward and uncomfortable ways it shows up in everyday life. Such A Fun Age is currently in development by Lena Waithe Hillman Grad Productions and Sight Unseen Pictures. The novel was long listed for the 2020 Booker Prize, the finalist for the New York Public Library's 2020 Young Lions fiction award, the VCU Cabell first novelist award, the NAACP Image Award for Outstanding literary work by a debut author, and the Mark Twain American voice in literature award.
