Casey Scieszka squeezes through the internet’s tubes to arrive safely on the podcast and talk The Fountain, her debut novel. We get into immortality, and alcohol etymology, and the Spruceton Inn residency, and growing up the daughter of famous children’s author, Jon Scieszka. Plus, we dive deeper into Natalie Babbitt’s Tuck Everlasting. Were the Tucks faeries or what?

Lior Torenberg zooms into the Damn Library to chat about Just Watch Me, an early entry in the run for “best book of the year.” She goes into just how deep her love for hot sauce goes, some terribly cramped apartments, and chats about the trope of the sad girl grifter. Plus, we get to talk about Rufi Thorpe’s Margo’s Got Money Troubles, a much different book about making money online.

Kathleen Boland road trips into the Damn Library Hyperspace to talk about her novel Scavengers, which also means talking about karaoke, the magic of Utah, treasure hunts, and complicated mother-daughter relationships. Plus, she brings along Christopher’s first Joy Williams’ work, The Quick and the Dead which complements Scavengers nicely. Get on the road and listen in.

[note: we stop spoiling plot points for the book and movie at 48:55 or so]
