Blake Butler's Molly is a memoir about the suicide of his late wife, poet and memoirist Molly Brodak. It's one of the most controversial alt lit book of the past year – rightfully! – and, with photographs integrated and no line or chapter breaks, it'... more
Haha this was recorded like months ago. Please excuse the mess. More Good Writing coming on a reliably unreliable schedule.

Guys you probably have great content but the sound is really really poor, especially from Emily’s microphone.
