Description

Sick Sad Lit is a podcast for readers and writers who love digging into the dark, messy, and provocative corners of contemporary fiction, as well as exploring the emergence of "Good for Her" as a literary genre.Through candid conversations with authors who push boundaries, we explore themes of alienation, identity, mental health, and the creative process behind bold, unforgettable storytelling.It’s part literary deep dive, part late-night chat—intelligent, unfiltered, and a little unhinged.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
