627. - Lauren Oyler

How Long Gone

Lauren Oyler returns to the pod; her new book, No Judgement, is out now. We spoke with her from her home in Berlin about New York City turbulence, height shaming in Midtown, asking for books, where are all the hot people hiding in Berlin, Mallorcan hams, the most important city in the world, she tried to write a bad review of her own book, fleeting magazine articles, defending West Virginia, stress eating vs. stress starving, the German precision of SoulCycle, a trance song that torments her, listening to the sound of rain at full volume is a red flag, and what we used to do first thing every morning before we had phones.
