Another great questionnaire. Love especially, "Almost everything I write feels unspeakable before I write it. I write to find the words for my own experiences, and that was the case here, too." Yes!
Thank you for this conversation, Sari! I am a huge fan of Melissa Febos' work. Reading ABANDON ME when I was working on my first memoir gave me the courage to be much more raw and real. I can't wait to read her new book.... and yours!
Just having heard about it and the topic. I had no idea who she was/is. I didn't read the Cut review, so I was clueless until I saw your piece and the interview in Lit Hub

I found that so relatable, too!
Yup. "Confessions of a Late-Blooming Gen-X Weirdo" says a lot. :)

She is the best!! And thanks in advance for reading my book! 😍
Total love fest.
Melissa Febo seems great! It's good she's doing these interviews because I thought The Dry Season was just another Eat Pray Love.
You mean you thought that having read the book, or having just heard about it?

Oh, wow. Happy to introduce you to the wonderfulness that is Melissa Febos!!
Great interview.
Hildegard von Bingen deserves much more recognition. Her work from so many centuries ago still resonates and has a cherished place in my life.
