About this episode

Lior Torenberg discusses her book 'Just Watch Me' and the themes of grifting and money in literature, alongside Rufi Thorpe's 'Margo's Got Money Troubles'.

Lior Torenberg zooms into the Damn Library to chat about Just Watch Me , an early entry in the run for “best book of the year.” She goes into just how deep her love for hot sauce goes, some terribly cramped apartments, and chats about the trope of the sad girl grifter. Plus, we get to talk about Rufi Thorpe’s Margo’s Got Money Troubles , a much different book about making money online.
