Laura June is author of Now My Heart Is Full. “Parenting wasn’t considered literary fodder for a long time. I think women in particular are raised not to complain. Which is not what I was doing. If you have to boil it down, it’s base emotion. Then you’re complaining about how hard it is. Or, the opposite end, you’re bragging. There’s no in between. Most of my writing is in between.” Thanks to MailChimp, Read This Summer, Google Play, and Pitt Writers for sponsoring this week's episode. @laura_june June on Longform [1:25] June on The Verge [1:25] "For Amusement Only" (The Verge • Jan 2013) [2:10] Now My Heart Is Full [2:40] Topolsky on Longform [3:15] June's archive at The Cut [11:00] June's archive at The Awl Learn more about your ad choices.
