Episode 570: Sloane Crosley

Sloane Crosley is the author of I Was Told There’d Be Cake and several other books. Her new memoir is Grief Is for People. “You take a little sliver of yourself and you offer it up to be spun around in perpetuity in the public imagination. That is the sacrifice you make. And it makes everything just a little bit worse. So it's the opposite of catharsis, but it's worth it. It's worth it for what you get in return: a book.” Show notes: sloanecrosley.com @askanyone Longform Podcast #343: Sloane Crosley 01:00 Grief Is for People  (MCD • 2024) 14:00 Heartburn  (Nora Ephron • Vintage • 1996) 25:00 "Patchett: In Bad Relationships, 'There Comes A Day When You Gotta Go.'"  (Fresh Air with Terry Gross • WHYY • Jan 2014) 25:00 Joan Didion on Fresh Air with Terry Gross 25:00 "Long COVID, Chronic Illness & Searching For Answers"  (Fresh Air with Terry Gross • WHYY • Feb 2022) 32:00 "Obituary: Russell Perreault, V-P at Vintage Anchor, 52"  (Rachel Deahl • Publishers Weekly • Jul 2019) 37:00 The Clasp  (Picador • 2016) 49:00 How Did You Get This Number  (Riverhead Books • 2011) 51:00 "Five O’Clock Somewhere"  (Gary Indiana • Granta • Feb 2024) Learn more about your ad choices.
