Listen "Taylor Jenkins Reid is among the stars — on and off the page"
Episode Synopsis
Taylor Jenkins Reid is a literary superstar. She’s known for writing epic settings, complex women and love stories that stretch across time and place — you might know her from novels such as The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo or Daisy Jones and the Six. Her new novel, Atmosphere, is a space thriller that captures all of her signatures. It’s about outer space, falling in love and being a woman at NASA … and that’s just the half of it. Taylor tells Mattea Roach about why writing about astronauts is so difficult, approaching life in the public eye and why the book is dedicated to her daughter.If you enjoyed this conversation, check out these episodes:Casey McQuiston: Celebrating queer love and joy and navigating the future of romance Emma Donoghue boards a train destined for disaster
