Zoe Whittall, THE SPECTACULAR: A Novel

Poet and author Zoe Whittall joins Zibby to discuss her latest novel, The Spectacular.

Zoe and Zibby also talk about the importance of writing commercially for and about the queer community, why grappling with anxiety is a core theme throughout all of her work, and what projects she's working on next.
