Stephanie Danler is a writer known for her debut novel, Sweetbitter, among many other things. She recently wrote the foreword for the reissue of John Gregory Dunne's Vegas. We chat with her about Justin Bieber's new record, which we haven't listened to yet, our godmother Lena Dunham, we're live streaming a show next week, malls of Southern California, how far she'll read into a bad book, her recent love of Knausgård, her dad died this year, her favorite kind of gossip, her gluten journey, hour-long orgasms in Mexico, different ways to break your brain, her restaurant career, favorite LA bars, her tipping logic, when you're New York Famous, TV money, Vegas is not that dope, and perhaps the number one response we've had to her top 5 perscription drugs.
