Ch. 86 | Literary It Girls + Inside the Sally Rooney Intermezzo Launch Party with Sophia June


Listen Later

SOPHIA JUNE is a culture writer in NYC (formerly NYLON magazine and the New York Times) and the co-founder of Language Arts, a literary newsletter about the books you actually want to read. We chat about her viral article, The Makings of a Literary It Girl, the best advice Ottessa Moshfegh and Caroline Calloway gave her, and the process of finishing the first draft of her novel (it includes a convent with nuns upstate, treating writing sessions like clocking into a bar shift, and dirty gin martinis in the standard hotel lobby). She takes us inside the Belletrist book launch party for Intermezzo by Sally Rooney, sharing all the juicy details left out by VOGUE, like the tiny Shepherd’s Pies passed around on trays and arriving to Emma Roberts on a step-and-repeat. Sophia also doles out her best book recommendations, most anticipated reads, and the next literary trends on her radar.
