In this special, writing and promoting in the time of COVID-19-themed episode, Daniel Ford and Sean Tuohy describe their new lives indoors and recommend books, movies, and television shows that may ease your mind during your self-isolation and social distancing.
Author Katie Orphan then joins the show to chat about her book Read Me, Los Angeles, which is out now from Prospect Park Books. It’s a beautiful love letter to the Los Angeles literary scene and, as you’ll soon discover, Orphan is not only a passionate advocate for that scene, but also for writing, reading, and bookselling in general.
“I love Raymond Chandler, but there’s so much more to this city and I wondered why no one else was talking about it.”
