Top Shelf With Brodie Lancaster

BOOKS BY LAURA BRADING

The essayist, copywriter, co-host of the podcast See Also and author of pop culture memoir No Way! Okay, Fine (honestly, what doesn’t she do?) tells us which authors she’ll read anything by, the book she read in a single sitting, and the one she recommends to everyone (it’s one of our favourites too).

A book you recommend to everyone.

Writers and Lovers by Lily King. Nothing has better represented the absolute nightmare of writing a book (I say, with a barely-started novel open on my screen) or working a hospo job. I shoved it in the hands of friends and went out to buy more of her books immediately.

A book that made you cry.

I cry *a lot* in books (and movies. And life. Basically any time people express their honest feelings I’m a sobbing wreck), from YA fiction like Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell to horny Emily Henry books. But Sunbathing by Isobel Beech is probably the chicest answer. It’s a beautiful, rich and deeply felt book. I just adored it.

You read everything this author writes. Who is it?

Three-way tie between Emma Straub, Meg Wolitzer and Curtis Sittenfeld!
