[1/1] Book Club: Dolly Alderton's 'Good Material'
Ăber
How to explain the British writer Dolly Alderton to an American audience? It might be best to let her work speak for itself â it certainly does! â but Alderton is such a cultural phenomenon in her native England that some context is probably helpful: âLike Nora Ephron, With a British Twistâ is the way The New York Times Book Review put it when we reviewed her latest novel, âGood Material,â earlier this year. âGood Materialâ tells the story of a down-on-his-luck stand-up comic dealing with a broken heart, and it has won Alderton enthusiastic fans in America. In this weekâs episode, the Book Reviewâs MJ Franklin discusses the book with his colleagues Emily Eakin and Leah Greenblatt. Caution: Spoilers abound!
