Hi hi hi! Calling all Cat People!
Is it ever okay to use someone else's real-life experiences as inspiration for your writing? We're asking the big questions today on Stranger Than Fiction! Join Eilish Gilligan and Rhiannon Joyce as they discuss Cat Person, the short story from The New Yorker that went unfathomably viral - and the wild, kind-of "true" story that inspired it.
Big thanks to Baileys - Irish Cream Liqueur - for making this episode possible. If you are over 18 and interested in an indulgent treat then head online or in-store to shop Baileys. Remember to Drink Responsibly.
Join us for all the book chat over on our Insta, @theshamelessbookclub, and our TikTok, @theshamelessbookclub. Or, if you’re after some variety, here’s a link to record a voice message via our website, too.
This episode was researched and audio produced by Eilish Gilligan.
