I found the discussion on using real names (again) very insightful. Especially about the conflict with those who struggle to see the value of personal expression. I loved this line, "At a certain point, you have to have your own back and accept, embrace even, the innately confrontational nature of the form."
What a wonderful interview, thank you, Lola and Sari. Will be reading this book (also love the cover illustration riding Washington Square arch!) Congratulations!
This interview is among the best I've read. I never expect to be truly surprised and I was. And this:
"If what you write is authentic to you, you might lose people. But you will undoubtedly find yourself. Decide if you can handle that." Damn.
I'm a fan. Going to buy the book.
That line resonated with me as well!
Thank you 🥹

Love Lola Kirke! Of course she's also a writer and of course she's funny.
