This month we're bringing you an author special with Elif Batuman, who joined Carrie in cyberspace to talk about her hilarious and original second novel Either/Or. In this extended interview, they discussed what makes a novel political, snobberies about structure and storytelling, learning to be funny on Twitter, the allure of the '90s, and much more. Plus the usual book recommendations. We hope you enjoy!

Recommendations:
Elif: The Eighth Life by Nino Haratischvili, translated by Charlotte Collins and Ruth Martin
Carrie: Fever Dream by Samantha Schweblin, translated by Megan McDowell
