433. Life, Death, Memory, and Immortality: A Conversation with VE Schwab

Listen in app
Amanda and I are talking with VE Schwab, author of The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, a book we both enjoyed tremendously. We talk about the 10-year process of writing it and the power of telling an immortality tale about a person who walks through history as a woman. We touch on queerness, achievement, erasure, representation, and also discuss death, loneliness, grief and immortality. About halfway through we take a deep dive into death rituals and experiences with grief and loss, with some specifics at about 42:00-43:00, so be aware if that’s not a topic you can engage with right now. (Take care of you, ok? Thank you.)Stay tuned to the end for a special surprise when Amanda’s roommate finds out who Amanda’s chatting with....Music: purple-planet.com Get bonus content on Patreon
