Writer Dan Kolitz swings by the studio to sound off on a whole host of cultural topics, including Jonathan Franzen's famous essay that claimed Edith Wharton's writing was informed by how plain-looking she was, Elizabeth Hardwick's recent resurgence, Norman Mailer's advocacy for Jack Henry Abbott's release from prison, why we have friend groups in our 20s only to see them disappear in our 30s, Zoomers arguing about jazz, and so much more! One of the great episodes!
