Diane Cook is the guest. Her debut story collection, Man V. Nature, is available now from Harper Books.Tea Obreht says"Man V. Nature is as close to experiencing a Picasso as literature can get: the worlds in Diane Cook’s impressive debut are bizarre, vertiginous, funny, pushed to the extreme-but just familiar enough in their nuances of the human condition to evoke an irresistible, around-the-corner reality.”And the Boston Globe says“Here’s a good rule: If Diane Cook wrote it, read it…Safety is tenuous, if not an illusion, in her thoughtful, unsettling, and darkly funny collection.”Monologue topics: Kathleen Hale, Blythe Harris, don't feed trolls, Goodreads, stalking.Learn more about your ad choices.
