I love this interview! I preordered Alive Day, and I can’t wait to read Fugett’s work (btw, my initial impression of the cover was that I loved it—though I am a bit biased towards heart shapes and sailor tat designs).
Also, I appreciate the conversation about accessibility and audience: “Normal people are who I want to read this.” And it’s frustrating that a more accessible memoir isn’t always appreciated for its craft, when it absolutely should be!
Great interview and the book sounds amazing. I am going to get a copy from the Indie bookstore where I work!

Thanks, Emily! I think you'll like it.
Love the “journey” line. Yeah, mostly bullshit. Maybe a few good things, but mostly walking for a very long time with no real destination.
