Mary Laura Philpott, BOMB SHELTER: Love, Time, and Other Explosives

Mary Laura Philpott returns to discuss her latest memoir, Bomb Shelter, which was selected as an Editor’s Choice by the New York Times Book Review. Mary Laura tells Zibby about her mental spatial awareness and how it informs her sentence structure, the main themes that thread the chapters of this book together, and why she loves discovering art she didn't initially think she would enjoy. Mary Laura also shares what it's like to write a memoir and have strangers connect with it while not necessarily realizing that they don't fully know you.Purchase on Amazon or Bookshop.Amazon: https://amzn.to/3Mg6KoyBookshop: https://bit.ly/3PRRLo1Subscribe to Zibby's weekly newsletter here.Purchase Moms Don't Have Time to Read Books merch here.
