Get your bookworm on with a rotating roster of, um, bookworms. Including Jenna Todd & Suri Reddy from Time Out Bookstore, bringing us a different book to talk about each week.
Suri from Time Out joins Jonny to chat about a brand new book - Help Wantedby Adelle Waldman. A workplace satire set in a dystopian alternate reality, it follows the underling employees of an Amazon-type workplace and the daily minutae that dictate the experience of the working class strata.
Suri from Time Out joins Jonny for Loose Reads today! Suri reviews Alphabetical Diaries by Sheila Heti, an experimental take on the memoir format. In Alphabetical Diaries, Heti alphabetically orders 10 years worth of journalled sentences (with the aid of an Excel spreadsheet). The book is the product of a decade of editing, so that only Heti's favourite sentences remained. Whilst some letters contain many entries, others such as Q only contain one. It's a blend of literary criticism and a peep into an author's most intimate thoughts.
