Ep 431: Nick Farriella
Manage episode 376136022 series 2824312
We're always happy for an excuse to revisit the work of Denis Johnson, so when this week's guest said he wanted to discuss Johnson's novel Angels, we were all in. We talk to Nick about being a self-taught writer, the fine line between funny and sad, and why Johnson's portrayals of substance abuse and mental health struggles spoke to him.
You can pick up a copy of Nick's first book, a collection of stories, here.
