On August 8th Gillian and Legs were guests of Madeline Brand on her program “Press Play With Madeline Brand” on KCRW, talking about Dear Nobody. You can stream the interview here.
FROM KCRW:
“Young adult literature these days is full of dystopian landscapes, vampires and magical fantasy worlds. But a new book brings a different voice to the mix. A real voice. It’s called Dear Nobody: The True Diary of Mary Rose. It’s a collection of diary entries by a teenage girl who died 15 years ago of cystic fibrosis. The entries chronicle her struggles with illness, alcoholism and an abusive home life. It’s an unusually gritty and raw look at the life of an American teenager.”
Guests:
Gillian McCain, Poet and author; co-editor of “Dear Nobody: The True Diary of Mary Rose”
Legs McNeil, Author and columnist for Vice magazine; co-editor of “Dear Nobody: The True Diary of Mary Rose” (@Legs__McNeil)
