In this week’s episode, Wyndham sits down with Kevin Alexander, Joe Keohane, and Alessandra Lusardi (aka S.E. Boyd) to discuss their hit debut novel The Lemon. The writing and editing trio discuss their collaborative process in writing the novel, the inspiration behind some of the key characters and themes, and the future of their band-like collective.

What others have said about The Lemon:
