1Q1A Writers and Lovers Lily King
Good afternoon everyone and welcome to another edition of The Avid Reader. Today our guest is Lily King (which is a lovely name) author of Writers & Lovers which will be published tomorrow by Grove Press.
Lily’s first novel was The Pleasing Hour, a NYT notable book and winner of the Barnes and Noble Discover award. Her second was The English Teacher, her third was Father Of The Rain, a NYT editor’s choice. Her fourth was Euphoria, this time, deservedly a NYT 10 best books award, Times best 10 Fiction books of the year
Writers & Lovers is a portrait of an artist as a young woman. Casey Peabody, our protagonist, just lost her Mom, took off for Massachusetts in 1997, no plan, no money. She used to be an incredible golfer, she works at what sounds like a great restaurant, Iris. She lives in what I would call a hovel, rides a banana bike, like I used to have, till it got stolen, and is incredibly funny.
She’s got two boyfriends, potential diseases and a loose hold on reality (as do I) and a potential great American novel. And we, or at least I, love her.
