Listen "Gabrielle Zevin's muses"
Episode Synopsis
I'm excited to bring you this week's Take 5. Cos Gabrielle Zevin wrote one of my favourite books of the last year. The bestselling American author is behind 10 books, but her most recent has won huge acclaim. It's sat at the New York Times bestseller list for yonks, is being turned into a film, and has captured the imaginations of everyone who reads it."Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow" is the story of Sadie and Sam, two lifelong friends who bonded early over a love of video games. This book becomes an epic tale of love, creativity, competition, and tragedy. And it charts a history of gaming along the way.Muses play a big part of this book, so I asked Gabrielle to share hers. And from Nirvana to Penguin Cafe Orchestra, this is a brilliant conversation by one of the best writers in the world today.• Penguin Café Orchestra — Perpetuum Mobile• Rilo Kiley — Let Me Back In• Nirvana — Lithium• Bright Eyes — Road to Joy• The Mountain Goats — This Year
