this is such a great interview, and so helpful to see things from the bookstore side!
but also, Cassie, I would *love* for you to write about book events + The Art of Gathering--I've been thinking about something you wrote previously about how an event needs to *offer* something, not just be a reading, and I'd love to know how you're thinking about The Art of Gathering in this context. (I really like the book, and I get her argument about being a "generous host" conceptually . . . but I have time thinking about how to take up those ideas in my own social life with feeling too bossy/corny/etc!)

What a great interview! The questions were smart, and the responses were clever. I felt like I was sitting over coffee with both of you. It was cozy.
love this convoooo. Also, CHLORINE is so wild and I agree that it needs to be a movie asap.
