Emma Cline is a writer, her newest book, The Guest, is this summer's must-read. We chat with her from her home in Los Angeles about Barbie not wearing an N95, Nick Kyrgios' full backpiece Pokemon tattoo, Chris going to the Drake show tonight, we just come out and ask her how The Guest ends, Emma has been actively trying to avoid doing this podcast, you can't put ads on a phonecall yet, growing up one of seven siblings, her brother's casino, how her friend Alex scopes out the talent at Whole Foods, seeing an old boyfriend of hers on a random YouTube video, rifling through medicine cabinets, she has avoided exercise her entire life until now, some book lovers need to get a freaking life, she has a twice-monthly standing reservation at Din Tai Fung followed by a Virtual Reality sesh at the Samsung store, she gives us her smoothie recipe which sounds more like a chicken marinade, and we all know a Raya elder.
