Intermezzo, thin characters & publishing unpacked

Intermezzo, thin characters & publishing unpacked

It's Sally Rooney week here at Everything is Content!


Beth, Ruchira and Oenone dive into their pop culture recommendations from the week, before plunging into the biggest literary event of the year: Sally Rooney's new novel Intermezzo.


So, how good is it? The girls answer that core question, and dissect just how compelling her male characters are. The chat is fairly spoiler free, but do skip onto the next segment around the 30 minute mark if you want to be extra cautious.


Next-up, discourse around Rooney and her mostly thin characters was firing up the timeline even before Intermezzo dropped. Just how justified are these arguments against the alleged "great millennial writer" of our time?


Finally, what can we learn from Rooney's astonishing success when it comes to publishing at large? Do other diverse writers get the same chances for global stardom?
