Emily was previously an editor at Gawker and a publisher of Emily Books, an imprint of Coffee House Press focusing on women’s first-person writing. She is the author of the novels PERFECT TUNES and FRIENDSHIP and the essay collection AND THE HEART SAYS WHATEVER and, most recently, she wrote the moving essay "The Lure of Divorce," which we talk about a lot in this episode, along with mental health crises, two-writer marriages, being "famous in Midtown," the great media scourge, ambition later in life and a lot more.
