147. Megan Tady on Writing, Grief, and Her New Novel 'Super Bloom'

Audiences are very concerned with genres–is it a comedy? Is it
drama? Is there sci-fi? Especially when it comes to works of art
that emulate life, it can be difficult to say our lives fit into
neat genres. Life is often difficult, funny, scary, and
sweet–sometimes within a few hours. Today Megan Tady is in
conversation with Tom Knoblauch about her new book, Super Bloom,
which balances tragedy, humor, and insight on how we move forward
and reinvent ourselves through art. The book follows massage
therapist Joan Johnston, who is grieving the death of her
boyfriend as she works at an iconic Vermont spa and finds a way
forward through writing, and it is available now wherever you get
books.
