Do you have one of the ~iconic~ Joan Didion Lit Hub totes? (You can still get one, ps.) Were you also interested, and then maybe confused, by the 'new' Joan Didion book? Don't worry, we've got you covered this week. We've also got some writer-beware tips for those hoping to get their work out into the world while avoiding a mess like the one at Unbound/Boundless—and also there's a bit of meta/twee fun! A true summer jawn!
First: Evelyn McDonnell (The World According to Joan—coming in paperback this summer!) talks about her essay "Who Thought This Was a Good Idea? On Notes to John and the Selling of Didion's Privacy"
Then: Kate McKean (Write Through It—out next week!) offers some agent-level advice to writers about what to watch out for when looking at agents and publishers.
Finally: Brittany Allen drops in to mutually adore Wes Anderson with Drew, inspired by her "All the Fake Books in Wes Anderson's multiverse, ranked" list before we all (and I do mean we all) go see The Phoenician Scheme this weekend.
