Description

On this episode of Complicated Conversations, we chat with the incomparable Adriana Trigiani. Beloved by millions of readers around the world, Adriana is the New York Times bestselling author of twenty books of fiction and nonfiction, including her latest, The Good Left Undone - an instant New York Times bestseller, Book of the Month pick and People's Book of the Week. She is also an award-winning playwright, television writer/producer and filmmaker, as well as the host of the hit podcast “You Are What You Read,” in which she interviews the great authors and luminaries of our time about the books that built their souls.
Talking to Adriana is inspiring, informative, and thoroughly entertaining. We talked about the transportive, life changing power of reading, motherhood, being a woman in the publishing industry, career advice, her most recent novel, The Good Left Undone, and her amazing podcast. Adriana blew us away with her ability to read faces and left us with important wisdom on everything from life to the best long-wearing lipstick. We absolutely LOVED this conversation.

In Pop Fiction Women we deep-dive into the complicated women of books, movies and TV shows, along with the women that bring them to life behind the scenes. Think Fleabag and Phoebe Waller Bridge, Normal People and Sally Rooney, and so much more. In each episode you can expect us to: * Break down the protagonist as we ask what makes her complicated? * Identify the best scenes, which can mean sweetest, funniest, or most badass. Anything we love. * Recount the cringiest scenes. The ones that make you squirm. Sometimes it’s self-sabotage, sometimes it’s growth, but it’s always part of the process of becoming our complicated selves. * Play arm-chair therapist in What’s Your Damage, Heather? An homage to the iconic line in Winona Rider’s Heathers, we discuss how these characters got to be the way they are. * “What She Said” - the segment where we scour every essay and interview with the women behind the scenes and share some of our favorite first person quotes. Real life is as interesting as fiction here. * Look into our crystal ball and ponder where these characters are six months later and five years later. Typically, Kate gets very real and Carinn gets buck wild. * Provide a takeaway, aka that part in the podcast where we try to sound deep. We leave you with some parting wisdom, challenge each other with thought-provoking questions inspired by the work, and urge you to “stay complicated.”
