Emily has been in seclusion with edits on her new novel, but Truth & Fiction comes out of hiding with this live episode recorded at Word Books in Brooklyn. The theme was Midwest versus NYC and was produced in collaboration with Vol 1 Brooklyn. Readers contributing to the evening of cultural studies were Emily, Sarah Marian Seltzer, Jason Diamond, and Anna Prushinskaya. Thanks to Word Books and Vol 1 Brooklyn. Truth & Fiction is back next week, when Hal Niedzviecki sits down with Emily to talk about his new book Trees on Mars.
