Curtis Sittenfeld on ROMANTIC COMEDY

“I can even still have my festively neurotic characters, but they can be working their way toward a happy ending, instead of working their way towards crushing disappointment.”  Curtis Sittenfeld’s Romantic Comedy is a playful, smart and fizzy look at love and pop culture through the eyes of a charming and relatable late-night TV writer. Sittenfeld joins us to talk about how a good novel feels like eavesdropping, what makes a character likable, surprising literary influences and more with Poured Over host Miwa Messer. And we end this episode with TBR Topoff book recommendations from Marc and Madyson.  This episode of Poured Over was hosted by Executive Producer Miwa Messer and mixed by Harry Liang.   New episodes land Tuesdays and Thursdays (with occasional Saturdays) here and on your favorite podcast app.    Featured Books (Episode):  Romantic Comedy by Curtis Sittenfeld  Prep by Curtis Sittenfeld  Eligible by Curtis Sittenfeld  The Great Reclamation by Rachel Heng    Featured Books (TBR Topoff):  The Lonely Hearts Book Club by Lucy Gilmore  XOXO by Axie Oh
