Becky Chicoine Talks Where'd You Go, Bernadette

Becky chose Where'd You Go, Bernadette (2012) by Maria Semple, a really funny book that tracks the aftermath of a mother's disappearance in an affluent Seattle neighborhood. We cover the book's innovative structure ("a fresh take on the epistolary novel for the modern age" is something I wish I'd thought of on the fly), what we learned about Antarctica, and what Becky and I would title our respective autobiographies. Becky is a comedian who performs at UCB and with the sketch groups Girls With Brown Hair and OSFUG, and I frankly insist that you follow her on Twitter at @Beckychicoine.
